how can i copy or ghost my hard drive???

hello everyone, can you help please, my hard drive is on its way out, i need to copy everything from my hard drive to my new one, i have norton ghost, but is there something else i an use, i think you call it ghosting?? if you can help i would be very grateful thankyou

 

I use Acronis True Image Home version 11 and I couldn't be happier. There is a new version out but I'm happy with the one I have. I routinely backup my entire PC to an external harddrive after updating, cleaning with CCleaner, defragging with Auslogic Disk Defrag, and scanning with antivirus and antimalware apps insuring that my saved backup is pristine.

 

If you have ghost why are you asking for other cloning software when they do the same job,obviously if you have an early version of ghost it will be somewhat diff

What's the prob you're having

@peshtigo
Do you do incremental at all ? if not why not

 

Norton Ghost is still the best out there.

 

thanks everyone ive just found Acronis and its ok, ive just ghosted my hard drive and now i have a the new drive ready, so thanks everyone, but i decided to use acronis for now, but im very gratful for all your advice, thanks again

 

+1

(I agree)

 

Sorry, not in my book.

 

Both do the same job

Any reason(s) why?

Quite, that's why we suggested them both to the OP..

 

Yes I know they both do the same job and do it well. It's just personal preference.

scorpNZ - I no longer do the incremental thing anymore. I have a very large external harddrive (1 TB) partitioned five times as to be more manageable. My C drive only holds my OS and Program files. I backup my entire computer to one partition and the next backup I send to a different partition (in essence, two full backups, one newer than the other). When it's time to update my backup again I just delete the older one and replace with the newest (each clearly labeled). There's no need for an incremental backup and it's just as fast. Also for anyone interested, there's a little trick I learned to speed up the analysing stage to mere seconds.
