Can anyone recommend an easy way to clone a drive in Vista ultimate 64 bit?
I am ready to transfer data from my old Quad Core Q6600 to a new i7-950 system. I have about 1 TB of data. I have dual 1.36 TB drives, one is completely empty, (was used as backup drive, I wiped it and tried to clone adrive to it) I want to simply clone my C: to I:and install the I: into the new i7-950 system. Since I will go from Vista Ultimate to Window's 7 Pro 64 bit, I will have to reinstall the programs to the New C: (Crucial C300 128GB Solid State Drive) , which will be no problem.
Will cloning drives be easiest? I will then simply import data files to new 1TB drive and then use this 1.36TB drive as a dedicated backup drive? Or since new system will have USB 3.0 running 5GB-s should I get external 2TB drive and use that as dedicated backup drive and take external drive from house when I travel?
