    Smile Installing NEW Sata HDD

     
    Need to upgrade my mum's hard drive as its too small (80GB) but its and IDE and want to put a SATA drive in, not a problem got a cable to convert the power supply, but i want to copy the hard drive completely to the new one (All files, OS etc) as I no longer have the windows discs and dont want to buy a new OS, what is the best way to do this? Thanks in advance

    The free trial will mirror the entire disk (last time I used it).

    Every one of the drive manu's offers their own version of drive tools that are pretty straight fwd and easy to use. The only problem there is most I've used lately use a trimmed down version of Acronis these days.
