HD Backup Solutions Revisited

Image for Windows/Image for DOS/Image for Linux all have a copy option. I have never used the copy option. Recently, I purchased a new 2 TB hard drive and Restored (using Image for DOS) an Image of a ~64 GB System Partition of the old hard drive. I used the "Automatic" option which Restored to the new 2 TB hard drive keeping the exact same ~64 GB System Partition size. I then partitioned and formatted the remaining disk space.

There are many softwares that clone hard drives, but I do not have any experience with them. Terabyte's CopyWipe is free and should be able to do the job.

CopyWipe from TerabyteUnlimited or maybe HDClone Free from Miray Software

 

DiskWizard is still available both as a Win32 application or as a DOS application. I just downloaded it yesterday. However it is difficult to find on Seagates site.
Seagates site is absolutely horrible when it comes to finding things. There are multiple ways to get to a destination and other screwed up things about their website. Sorry. I don't have the link saved. I just joined this forum yesterday after reading it from time to time over the years.

I hope this is helpful
