Imaging HDD

[Kzin]

Can anyone recommend a program to copy my hard disk drive and OS across to another bigger one when I upgrade my computer?

Thanks I found something called Drive2Drive though download.com that does the job

I do a lot of HDD mirroring/imaging here and I use an application called ghost.

I use it to put fresh/good copies of tri-boot Win98/NTWKS/NTSRV onto some of our systems. I boot with a boot disk, have it log into our novell server using ipx from a dos prompt, and then unghost the image files onto the local machine.

spetnik It turns out the Drive2Drive only works with Windows 95/98 not 2000.

I'm looking at Norton Ghost 2001 right now which might do the job.

I use ghost a lot here at work and we've had a lot of trouble going from 1 size to another..(not ghost 2001 mind you)
be carefull playing with ghost you can loose everything (from experience)
the way we got it to work with bigger HD's is we'd partitin the new one in 2.. the first part the same size as the old hd. and the seond is what is left.
then we just do a partition to partiton.
