Hey guys,
My laptop HD recently died on me (Dell 0142 code....) and the replacement is due in tomorrow. Now, I've connected the "dead" HD to my desktop and I can explore it without any problems. I do not want to run any tests or benchmarks because I've seen salvageable drives go FUBAR after this, so I am taking it very easy.
What I am wondering is whether you guys think I can just clone the old HD to the new one (they are even the same size, 320Gb), in order to avoid the hassle of installations, fishing for my files, *.pst, etc. I've used Norton Ghost in the past in my office, but I am not sure whether there is better software currently.
So, any suggestions on the software or the general process?
Thanks!
