Copy data drive and programs.

[Axil]

Hi, my secondary drive started make some odd sounds so i had Amazon send out another one. I'm fortunate enough to have both the old and new drive here and would like to just copy all the data and programs to the replacement before shipping the original back to amazon.

How do i do this without breaking any of the registry links or otherwise causing myself to have to re-install software?

If you have the WD HDD, download the "Acronis True Image WD Edition Softwar" and cloning your old system drive on your new WD hard drive.

If you have Seagate HDD, do the same and get the "DiscWizard" that is other version acronis true image.
