then save it to a disk with the registration numbers so it can be reloaded after windows is installed on the new drive.
So I am told by the computer shop the only way to get everything that I have on my old HD is to "clone" it. They say there is software that has to be used. Is that true?
yes. who makes the hard drive as i use both seagate & western digital software to clone drives & is free?
yes but why that? have a look at this link as has list of 2.5" usb to sata drive enclosures. http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?cPath=14_202
I have one of those. Can I use that? And what was the software you were talking about thats free?....Again....thanks for your help
