Easiest way to ???

[soric2]

I just bought a new Hard rvie same model as my old one Western digital, what is the best/easiest way to copy the info from one to the other ?

Hard drive software should be able to do that. Or, if it's just data, you could install it as a slave and move stuff over in Windows Explorer.

I just did this recently, I used the trial version of Casper XP (google it ). Worked fine!

Just for your future posting's:

I would say that most of the people on this forum that would love to help you with your question would have also clicked your post....but they didn't, wanna know why? Because of they title "easiest way to ???" Most people won't waste their time coming in here to see what the big surprise is. Why read an entire post only to find out you don't know the answer when you could have saved time by simply finishing the title.

And BTW, easiets way IMO, is to drag and drop

Thank you for speaking for all of us DaTT!

I don't care what you use as a title. You had a good question, of which I second the vote for Casper.

Hey Buck, If you read my post, you would notice I said MOST not ALL. Therefore, it appears I wasn't speaking for you. Which, in turn, voids your statement "Thank for speaking for all of us".

Read before you reply.....always helpful.

Well hey, I click on titles like this, so yes you ARE not talking for everyone...of course .

Maybe 'MOST' of the people here are that lazy to where they won't take one measly second out of their otherwise horrendously busy lives to go see what someone's question is, but I am with buckmasterson on that one. I am not "most" people either.

GOOD DAY

Download "Data Lifeguard Tools V. 11.0" from HERE.

I use it for drive to drive copying all the time. I even used it this morning to make a backup. Works great.

Casper XP, data lifegaurd, maxblast ghost, norton ghost, are all good. It's more about which ones you can use for free.


By the way Datt, his title worked on you didn't it. and me... and everyone else here. If everyone did it then it would be a pain tho.
