Creating a system image on a blank hdd and using that same hdd

[jhughes1316]

So here's my situation: I have a 1TB HDD that is starting to make noises (fail) so I bought a new 2TB HDD to put my old information on. But here is my question: If I were to make a System Image on the new HDD, can I format that System Image onto the same HDD? And after that would I be able to reformat that backup partition to extend my new windows 7 partition? Thanks in advance, guys.

What you need to do is attach the 2tb drive and then clone the 1TB to the 2TB drive. No need to be messing about setting up partitions. This'll do it http://www.easeus.com/disk-copy/home-edition/
