Please log in for more thread options it may be failing. If this is true, how could I transfer the software programs that I have currently loaded on this HD to a new HD? My concern are the software programs I have loaded via the web on my current HD with no backup CD-ROM disks. I would appreciate any assistance that you could provide me. Tom | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options If you are in the UK, then go out and pick up a copy of PC Pro - there is free software on the cover disk this month to clone a hard disk - if the new one is larger it will sort itself out. There are many hard drive clone / backup solutions - google for them and there's bound to be a basic cheap/free one. | |||||||||||||||||||

> What program is on this cover disk? On my copy of issue #96, of the British publication PC-Utilities magazine, there was a DVD full of programs, one of which was Paragon Drive Copy 8.0 SE. The program does require registration in order to use it. Once registered you will receive an email with a serial number. Even with that you don't have to pay anything for the program itself or it's use other than purchasing a copy of the magazine that has not had the DVD removed from the cover. The better bookstores in the USA usually carry the publication, mine came from my local Borders bookstore. | |||||||||||||||||||

> What program is on this cover disk? Keep it simple. Assuming you are on Winders, try xxcopy (xxcopy.com). Free, and he has a whole section on instructions for cloning. -- [mail]: Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) [page]: <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net>
