I am working a new build. THe harddrive in the machine will be used in the new machine. What's the quickest/easiest/best way to back up the hdd so when I do the fresh install on the new machine I can restore as much of the settings/preferences/data as possible?
I currently have the drive mounted in my other maching as a 3rd hdd. So, on my machine I can do whatever i need to and I have 40GB available on a usb drive as the copy-to device.
I have enough space to just make a straight dupe of the whole drive to the usb drive but that will take forever and i don't think it's even necessary or a good idea. BUt, I'd like to get more than just the my docs files and music/pics etc. I'd like to get some of the program settings and data if possible.
Suggestions?
