I needed help in knowing the correct process to move all my hard drive data to a new hard drive.
Here is what I would like to do:
Create an exact copy [is this called an image or a mirror (i have no clue)] of my existing hard drive and move it to my new hard drive.
The old hard drive [the one I am presently using on my system is a Maxtor 300GB SATA II.
The new drive [still new in the anti static bag is the the WD 500GB SATA II 32 mb cache (it is called the caviar Black with model #wd5001AALS)].
Can anyone help me through this process please?
I would like to partition the new drive first if possible.
Thanks,
Soar
