Hi Lambert: Then there is the totally free partition manager called gparted and it also allows you, in addition, to resize dynamic volumes as required: http://gparted.org. It also runs on all platforms and can modify most (all) file systems. If you wish to clone an Windows drive, I would suggest DriveXML: https://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm and for anything else including Windows there is Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lambert Heenan" <Lambert.Heenan at aig.com> To: "Dba-Tech (dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com)" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2014 7:36:30 AM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Hard drive cloning Totally free and totally cool... http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/ Lambert -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tydda Jon - Lonza Slough Sent: Friday, July 11, 2014 9:36 AM To: Dba-Tech (dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com) Subject: [dba-Tech] Hard drive cloning Hi all I'm thinking of replacing the very slow (5400rpm) 1tb hard drive in my laptop with a much faster SSD, sacrificing some storage space (that I don't really use anyway). I can do the mechanical part no problem, but how do I move the Windows 8.1 installation from one drive to another without breaking anything? Last time I did this was about 7 years ago, and I used Norton Ghost to make a backup to another hard drive, which I then swapped out. What software should I use now?
