How to clone and replace (C) drive. Windows 7

[Bvenable]

I want to replace my C drive but don't want to lose Windows and other apps and data. I tried cloning but my computer won't recognize my cloned drive. Help!

Intel and Samsung offer free clone utilities that will clone their drives only.
They are modified versions of acronis true mage.
What drive do you now have, and what are you trying to go to?

I use the full product acronis true image,,, for my incremental and full image backups and disk cloning. I have a spare boot disk for my laptop and server on the shelf. I'll be irratated when my disks fail but I won't be down for long.
