Yeah, you would just set source to <DriveLetter1>:\ and destination to <DriveLetter2>:\ and it would push everything over like for like

Yeah the one I use literally copies the files over so my backups drive is literally a carbon copy of the main drive.

Would that work to replicate 2 drives which arnt in use?.
As most of these clone tools seem to image the drive your running (eg c:)

where as i want to replicate f:\ onto g:\

If that makes sence?


Symantec Ghost should do it.

I use Karen's Replicator to make automatic backups to my second hard drive, it should be able to do what you're after :thumbs: http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp

Hi.

I need to completely clone a hdd from my laptop.

my desktop has hotswappable drivebays, so was hoping to stick the current laptop in one empty bay and the new hdd in a separate bay.

is there any free software i can use to copy or move everything across?. OS/ boot files etc included?:boggle:
