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,
:toast:
