Clone harddisk

Ooi

Could anyone recommend me some good software to copy a harddisk partition with windows installed on it to another harddisk without the loss of any information. Basicly I want to clone that partition to another harddisk.

The harddisk im using now is making noises I wouldnt have thought it could make em, doesnt sound right :d Cheers!

Use hirens boot CD and choose one of over 9000 programs to do it with.

I am gonna do the same soon, and my dad said I should use "Macrium Reflect" or something like that. You can decide where to put the "clone" off the HDD ( For example, DVD , other HDD, CD, USB stick etc etc)

Ye, the program is quite nice.. although be sure if you copy it to a DVD ( or in my case, multiple) that ALL the DVD's are working/empty (since if they are not.. it will cancel and you will have to start over, 30GB compress = 30-40 min or so)

And about the HDD.. ye mine is making alot of noise, no ticking though..
