Re: Upgrade hard drive - Cloning

Brian,

It is not clear from the CopyWipe manual that the DOS version reads and writes
NFTS partitions and copies long file names correctly. Some of the early drive
copying utilities did not do so. Comment please... Ben Myers

Thanks, Brian,

To make sure I understand this:

1. Create bootable CD of CopyWipe for Dos and test.
2. Install new HD in laptop; install old HD in USB enclosure.
3. Boot from CD, copy old HD (in enclosure) to new HD in laptop.
4. Remove CD, disconnect USB enclosure and boot normally.
5. Voila!

OK? TIA.






Perfect.

When using the CD, if you can't see your external HD from the USB2 choice,
try the BIOS (Direct) choice.

To make the CD, double click makedisk.exe as described in the pdf. When
using the app, click F6 at the appropriate time to make sure you are
selecting the correct HDs. You will need to use the Scale Size option to
expand each partition. Good luck and let us know the outcome.
