Rother 36 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I need to clone an hard drive Is clone the right word - you know, make an exact image of a current hard drive so that in the event of the original hard drive crashing It's a case of just swapping out the broken one for the new one with the image of the first already on it. What software would do this accurately? I intend to clone it then fit the new hard drive into the pc to check all is correct and working Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre 25 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I used Paragon Hard Disk Suite 12 only last week to clone my laptop disk drive to a new SSD drive. Worked with no problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djweeble 43 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I use Beyond Compare 3 to make triplicate copies of my music drives, it does what it says on the tin, and does it very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rother 36 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks for that, I will get (cough) both software's. Does it make the hard-drive boot-able as the original? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre 25 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes - it's an exact clone. My win7 now boots in 8 seconds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
