How to clone HDD

RaPiDo987 · Dec 24, 2010, 08:11 AM

Hey Guys!

I just got a WESTERN DIGITAL WD20EARS Caviar Green 2.0TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.0 64MB and would like to clone my existing HDD (SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/) without doing a whole system restore...

Is there any free programs I can use?
Or any good programs as well?

That you for your time,

I agree with Acronis: http://support.wdc.com/product/downl...l.asp?swid=119
I've cloned with it several times and it's worked flawlessly for me.
