Hard disk cloning or how we copy all content from one hard drive to another - video tutorial

Hi friends, today a video tutorial to talk about cloning a hard disk or partition. Specifically, we learn how we can copy the contents of an entire hard disk to another hard disk, including parititia C: \ where Windows. Not many times have you been in a situation where you have a hard drive little of 50-80 GB and purchasing a larger hard drive of 200-500 GB, you wanted to move everything, including the operating system and other partitions with they all continued on the new hard drive purchased. Why would we want to copy your old hard on the new hard?
Because the mere installation of a Windows operating system on the hard drive again would take the least 45 minutes, plus installing drivers, software preferred creating partitions and then copy the files manually from your old hard drive it would have lasted much longer would have had to go through several steps to install, uninstall, restart your PC several times.
We can get rid of this whole ordeal just use an ISO image of only 32 KB you will need to download and make a bootable CD. Once we bootable CD, you have to we connected to our computer and hard drive that you plan to copy files or partitions to contain them all. Pay attention to connect two or more hard drives. In tutorial we showed how proceed exactly as Master and Slave setting them to no conflicts. Now that we have the hardware old and new hardware connected to your PC, we do not just have to give restart, boot from the CD containing that small ISO image 32 KB which I said above and go through the wizard to copy, a simple wizard, without special orders only graphical interface and mouse.
You can not use little soft if you can get connected to the motherboard 2 hard drives. The software has two options:
Disk Copy - copying the entire hard disk to another hard disk (meaning all partitions with everything they contain)
Partition Copy - copying a single partition with everything in it to another hard drive
There are several software that allow us to migrate a hard disk or partition to another hard disk, such as Norton Ghost, Hiren`s BootCD, Acronis Recovery Media, Acronis

    • pc1900: How can I tell if my board supports SATA or ATA based?  

      I just showed this video tutorial, you always ask questions to which you answer awkward tutorial, you scroll, what you can afford to ask questions if you look at the tutorial video head-tail?
      I showed what the SATA ports are and what they look like and what are the ports / IDE port ... if you don't have SATA ports it doesn't automatically support SATA HDDs, isn't that logical?

    goes really hard;)) has low revolutions and few mb hard drive etc to buffer ..
    can you use for virtual boxing?

      Bothering you? you can not sleep unless you know for using IDE hard drive? You do not want to know what files, folders, pictures, movies have in your PC?
      Sweet Dreams!

  • Adrian, you didn't have a mouse struggling with the keyboard, you didn't select the partition, but nothing appeared, because one of the two had to be selected. So to come back to this with clones is a little stupid but you know why because I tried one for me that I took a new hdd of 1 tb seagate and I had a hdd smaller than 500gb and I gave children, and at 500gb I had at windows 7 40 gb partition C and the one of 1tb I wanted to make the partition C of 50gb ee and here was the problem that I could not copy the content from C from 500gb win 7 old on new hdd of 1tb did not work, he also wanted 40gb to do it and I didn't want to and so I reinstalled everything because it started to annoy me and I gave up after that I took a copy of all the folders and files from the 500gb one and threw it in the 1tb one and I say daia I'm a little stupid, it's better to reinstall the windows cleanly than to have to worry and in addition to that, the C partition would see 40gb, and if I put the 50gb one on, a cocoa with milk would come out, like I knew that the C partition is 40gb, no 50gb and so I use the classic copy / paste method to be safer. Good luck :) !

    • ASUSAdrian, you were not what you struggle with keyboard mouse, select the partition you do not daia nothing appears to be selected as one of two. To return so this clone is small prostionara but you know why because I tried one for me like Miami took a hdd new 1 tb seagate and had a hard disk little of 500gb and gave to children, and the 500gb I the windows 7 40 gb partition C and that of a 1tb wanted to make partition C 50gb ee and here was the problem that I could not copy the contents of C from 500gb win 7 old hdd new 1tb did not work, he wanted all of 40gb to do it and I did not want and so I reinstalled everything started to annoy me and I gave up after I took the copy all the folders and files in the 500gb and leam thrown in the 1tb and daia say I it's a little prostioara better reinstezii Windows cleaner than sit to bother and in addition to this partition C see 40gb him if places on the 50gb went a chocolate milk as a win knew that partition C's 40gb not the 50gb and so I use classical method copy / paste to be safer. Good luck !  

      The truth is that it was "extremely difficult" to give Expand from Disk Management to partition C, right?

      You really are not able to write CORRECTLY AND INTELLIGIBLE, IN ROMANIAN LANGUAGE ?! Do I really have to endure your stuttering and anagrmatism, tutorial by tutorial ?! Everyone has the right to say, civilized and to the point, no matter how much your idea bothers you, BUT do it in such a way that you have made it understood, that EVERYONE can understand what you express, in writing! Otherwise, you will remain - for most of the others - COMPLETELY IGNORED! Before you press ENTER to post your ideas, read your entire text to see how correct it is, or you didn't write it! Is it really that hard, "PRO generation" ?!

    • Leo: Clonezilla is free and open source. Live Iso or Linux.

      We already tutorial and Clonezilla, you find the search box at the top right. It's always good to have available several methods or more software to do something

  • Got something to add even so tell them and so that is simple jumper does not write clearly on the cover of the hard disk's how to put jumper MASTER, SLAVE CABLE SELECT, very clearly, aa exception that neither you you did not say that some hard drives oldest old still even use two jumpers look for example hdd IBM 20gb uses two jumpers one left, one right, not only one jumper go, and not just standing there jumpers on the master, slave, cs, there are jumpers to bed ie the two pins under another pin, that is not standing be lying but the pin different, there are several types of settlements jumpers but best says on the cover protection or green board electronics. ATTENTION !!! not to touch while walking hdd as lati bulit bad sector and the first, or touch to make the short go out smoke from the PCB and look at it, or not have any span to do and short piu burned chip WARNING enjoyable !!!

  • Hear Adrian or Cristi will say something I site here do not have tutorials on office ie how to work what to do in it, how to make tables stuff reeds would not be good times to do you if you are good times I know I help I'll choose depends 70% believe they deserved to do tutorials on office if not do not know, I know if you want help with some subjects better if not, I will not choose?

    • ASUSDo you hear Adrian or Cristi will say something I site here do not have tutorials on office ie how to work what to do in it, how to make tables stuff reeds would not be good times to do you if you understand or I know you I got you, you choose depends 70% believe they deserved to do tutorials on office if not do not know, I know if you want help with some subjects better if not, I will not choose?  

      We have Office tutorials just because you don't know how to look for them. Our colleague Dan presented the entire Open Office suite, how to use each application in the suite. Likewise, our colleague Cristi did a tutorial on installing and presenting Microsoft Office 2007, more precisely, he presented the download, installation and working with Word. Former colleague Mihai presented Google Docs service "office" online and free and I presented the OCR function (optical character recognition) also an online service that helps you extract text from a picture, then extract the text to convert it to .pdf or document office.
      To give them, use the search box on the right: you writing: Open Office or Google Docs word or 2007 or OCR, you enter and you will find

  • Hold it like this but I knew how to do to show their tables, how to use scriurile drawn here is not what makes exclusive clip art in open office office, it's only a model but completely odd

    • ASUS: Hold it like this but I knew how to do to show their tables, how to use scriurile drawn here is not what makes exclusive clip art in open office office, it's only a model but completely odd  

      We mess up the comments section with a topic that has nothing to do with the tutorial. These topics are of no interest. Go and see how many views the office and open office tutorials have and then compare with the views for yahoo messenger or "how to download movies" The Romanian does not want to learn, wants fun, amusement ... All you have to do is tutorial on these topics . After you have done the tutorial, you have my email above the tutorial (right click on my name above the video tutorial and choose Copy mail address) upload the video tutorial on a file sharing site and give me an email with a link to it, and if we will like how you made it (we will watch the whole video tutorial team on it) you will join the team
      Closed topic!

  • ... the easiest thing is to boot from a live-cd or live USB and do the usual copy-paste ... I don't understand why if something is simple we have to make it as complicated as possible ... good evening !

    • Iulian: ... The easiest is to boot from a live CD or live USB-trivial copy-paste ... do not understand why if something is simple you have to make it very complicated ... a good evening!  

      Do you do this for the partition with the operating system to see what you will get;) do you test what you say or do you rely on some deductions?
      If the old hard drive and Linux contains new hardware that you want to copy your old hard is NTFS format, your method falls from the start!
      Why stand to make partitions, Partition to choose to boot nspemii times to give resets when can one boot, and then restart and all children, I'm done
      Even if the hard drives are formatted NTFS both in the same format or both EXT4 still not going to work because unfortunately you do not know what it means or what role has an MBR and what it means or what part has a partition table

  • ... no problem, this tutorial had to be done 4-5 years ago probably the new motherboards will no longer have ATA connections these connections will be made through adapters

    • Iulian: ... No offense, had made this tutorial 4-5 years ago probably not new motherboards ATA connections they have to have these connections will be made through adapters  

      Take a poll and you'll be amazed how many Romans have IDE hard drives, even if they have a SATA hard in PC and have one older IDE
      Equally astonished to stay when I see how many Romans still have ONLY 512 MB RAM and how many Romans have an integrated video card

    • Iulian: Parry, had made this tutorial 4-5 years ago probably not new motherboards ATA connections they have to have these connections will be made through the adapter

      Well, like Adrian and I tell you: do a survey and see how many are still with pentium 2 or 3 and 256 maximum RAM, video card 8 Mb, and CRT monitors.
      There are also many who strongly believe (as Gigel from IT told them) that you have to have a state-of-the-art computer "otherwise it won't work on the net either". Folks, you can do a lot of system optimizations, so you can work with a scrap.
      You will tell me that if you have a powerful system, you will not feel too much consumption of resources when for example you run a lot of crap in the background, or maybe you have the madness to run a movie on your desktop while opening 14 more windows. - I don't think there are many people who do this, most of them barely found out about Google (and I don't even know what to use it for) and when it comes to messenger, big problems start to appear for them.
      Therefore I think it would be better to leave him on the team Videotutorial to give lesson, and you would come only with questions.

        And there are many who believe strongly (as told from their Gigel IT) as Musa should not own a computer last generation "because otherwise you do not work or on the net." Folks, I can make a lot of system optimization, so you can work with a jalopy.
        You tell me that if you have a strong system will not feel too much consumption of resources when such run year background more crap, or maybe you folly you run on descktop a movie while open another 14 windows - I do not think there are many who do that, most barely have heard of Google (and nor it does not know what to use it) and the messenger when it comes to big problems begin to emerge for them.
        Therefore I think it would be better to leave him on the team Videotutorial to give lesson, and you would come only with questions.  

        Bravo
