Cloning a Hard drive?
30.03.06 at 14:00:03

Hello,

I've never had to clone a drive before, but I've had a go today with limited success.

Basically, I want to clone a 10gb drive to a 40gb drive for more storage.

I tried a free program, which worked to a degree, but the drive is limited to 10gb with the remaining 30gb unassigned. Sad

This is in Windows 2000.

Any tips, program recommendations?

Thanks,

Andrew

Well for one, since it's Win 2K, if you right click on My Computer, go to Manage, not Properties, and on the left hand side go down to Disk Management and highlight it, your 30 gigs will show up there. You just have to format the 30 gigs, and it'll show up as another drive that you can use. Probably end up as E or F depending on CD/DVD ROM's installed and if your other drive was partitioned in the first place.

Norton's Ghost works pretty well along with Disk Commander (although I'm not sure who puts that out).

Norton Ghost (for older Win9x and for XBOX drives) Partition Magic 8.0 (for ALL Windows and other O.S.'s) Both are commercial, but they are excellent products!
