Help COncerning Hard Drives
 

As i have stated in my other thread, i just got a 500gb Hard drive, Now my question is this.

Is there a way for my stuffs to be transferred to the new hard drive, and if so how do i transfer this whole "Windows" thing to that Hard drive, since i dont want to spend time in reinstalling and reformatting everything.

Help me on this one.

Did your hard-drive come with a utilities disc?
Many HD manufacturers provide free software which will duplicate your drive onto the new one. Check that out first.
Otherwise, I can probably rapidshit that software for you, though im not sure if it will work with Seagate (my disc is from Western Digital).

Surely, LS. You can use Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, or any disk imaging utility to do the job!

Norton Ghost is the only software I've used for this. I haven't had any problems with it.

I'm always using dd to transfer the whole device. After that add another partition or enlarge the last one and the filesystem residing there.
