Imaging a Hard drive
I have a hunch that I may possibly have to replace my hard drive.
Obviously, installing the OS, as well as all the programs on a new drive is a time-consuming PITA. Will an imaging program (such as Acronis True Image or Image for Windows) help make the job easier? IOW: Can I take an image of my exsiting hard drive (say on an external HD), transfer the image to a new hard drive, and just keep on using the computer with the new drive without having to reinstall the OS and the programs? For the $ 50 - $ 65 which those imaging programs cost, this seems to be a really good solution. Knowledgeable opinions, please? Thanks! __________________________________ johnn __________________________________ "God is dead" - Nietzsche (1844-1935) "Nietzsche is dead" - God |
