Switching Hard drives....

[McCoy]

I would like to switch all of the data from my C: drive to my D: drive without losing any of the data from wither drive in the process and with out having to reinstall each program (way to many downloads). Any help would be appricated.

what kind of hd do you have? I know wd, ibm, and maxtor all have utilities available to do this. they come with the drive if you bought it retail, otherwise you should be able to get it off their web site.

Personally I use Western Digital's Data Life guard since it came with my WD hardrive. You can download the program here Data Lifeguard.

As far as I know, it will work with any drive manufacturere, however I'm sure there are others at IBM, Maxtor, etc that you can download.

Yes I am using WD. This Data Lifeguard. It will allow me to completely remove my C: drive from my system without having to reinstall everything that is currently on my C: drive? Also will it correct for my short cuts? I mean I already have things installed on the D: drive. It willcorrect the short cuts to the system files on the current C: drive?

as long as your C drive doesn't have any errors, it should work. All it does is mirror one drive image to the other drive
