Hello. My current hard drive is starting to fail and I have a replacement 1 TB Western Digital. I cannot locate the DVD that came with the cloning software. Looked on their site and nothing.

So I have a new HDD that I have installed in my computer (SATA) and need to transfer the files from the Disk 0 (Failing) to the Disk (1) new, moving my operating system and entire C Drive.

Anyone know where I can find this software?

Not it will still work, what they call ReDeploy is just a tool to optimize a pre existing os install for new hardware, and you are only changing the hdd so it doesnt matter. Usually the software associated with teh drive manufacturer is bad and can be dangerous, so i would just go with macrium, here is another good guide i found just in case you need it: http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

I am going to download this program. The offer a free trial but I noticed this verbage:
"All editions of Macrium Reflect can be downloaded for a 30 day trial.
The trial is fully functional except that the ReDeploy functionality to restore images to dissimilar hardware is not included. The decision to remove this functionality was made on commercial grounds."

Does this mean I wont be able to clone? If so is there any free programs out there? When I bought this HDD i was told there was free software that would do this.
