|
|
Is there a program or something to copy EVERYTHING from one HD to another? And by EVERYTHING i mean like OS and all. I have an external HD i can use to transfer it between the two. But yeah, the main reason i want to do this is so i dont have to go out and buy another OS.
Or should i just transfer my regular files and torrent an OS?

There's a few out there.
Norton Ghost
Achronis True Image
Some hard drive utilities lets you do that also, but it does not work too well.
e.g. Western Digital Diagnostic tools has that option, but's only for WD drives.

I dont know wether it is sata or IDE
If you already found out that it is SATA, it is most likely SATA
You just need to find out how many ports you've got left

| It's called imaging. Get a boot disk for Acronis or Norton Ghost and I can walk you through it.
