Why Pay When You Can Clone Your Hard Drive For Free?

So you want to upgrade your hard disk? But you want to move all your old files to it?

If you would like to do it, you need to clone your hard disk entirely as it is and not just by copying and pasting all the files to the new hard drive.

In order to do this, there are software that can do this for you. You can try Norton Ghost or Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition if you have the money. But why pay when you can do it for free?

There are two open source software that can do this job. The software are Partition Image and Clonezilla. However, Clonezilla is recommended by Christopher Null. (For those who don't know him, visit his blog here http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null;_ylt=AiKhrY3u9wvyMWB_Ha7uAY4WLpA5

Clonezilla can copies 100GB of data as fast as 20 minutes and it also has unicasting and multicasting feature. However, this software are not for computer novice and you need to have an advanced or intermediate knowledge in computer in order to use this software.
