This may have been asked before but I'm having a difficult time finding the post or anything quite like what I want online.

My OS (win7) drive is failing. I bought a new harddrive and want to clone the old drive data to the new so I can physically swap them without reinstalling the OS. If there's a solution, please respond with a step-by-step or an article that does so. I'm not good with generalized directions with this kind of stuff.
Thanks in advance.
