Copying to added hard drive?

I was wondering if there is a program (preferably freeware) that will copy everything over, including changing registry settings, so that I can avoid reloading everything again. I will soon add another hard drive and want to store my games, some progs, photos, media files, etc...over to it and keep my other hard drive for the operating system and other things. Thanks I can guarantee CasperXP What a novel concept. although 'apparently' it cost's money. It did a brilliant job on four or five drives and not that slow either. Exact clones were reproduced, so you could take one drive out put a cloned one in and you couldnt tell the difference. I don't understand why the confusion. The original poster is asking a fairly simple question IMO, about moving programs from one partition to another. He's not talking about cloning a partition or drive.

Copying to added hard drive?
Just found an even better way. Install DI and make the
2 floppy disks. Slave the new drive to the old drive. Boot to floppy ( DR DOS ) , and select the option to dupe the drive. Heh. Takes about 10 minutes and works perfectly. Never tried that one before, since the other way is so easy and adaptable. But "dupe" works great. johns |

"I was wondering if there is a program (preferably freeware) that will copy everything over, including changing registry settings, so that I can avoid reloading everything again." This part, IMO, seems to suggest a cloning operation might be useful. If I am wrong I apologise to the OP. The clue in that part is "changing registry settings" and then there is the fact he wants to leave the operating system on the original drive. The original poster doesn't know he's trying to "move" and not "copy" or "store". He has a language/lingo problem. |
