Put the new drive in the PC, boot from the Acronis CD, and restore the image you made to the new drive. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Mark Veldhuis. |

| | Re: New HDD and Vista OS Cloning, as you say Back Vista version is the better option and I agree Acronis True Image is well worth looking at. Of course, with some 'retail' boxes (as opposed to OEM), the disk manufacturer includes cloning software and, in most cases, this will be a 'lighter' version of Acronis; so if the disk manufacturer is using Acronis then you can't get a better recommendation than that for this particular software. I personally use Acronis True Image all the time. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
