snapfilespro.com — HDClone Free Edition enables you to move the content from an entire hard drive to another, larger one. The program installs itself on a bootable floppy or CD, and include it`s own operating system, so it runs completely independent from Windows.

I just happen to be copying my laptop's hard drive right now. And I'm doing it through the network so I don't need to physically change the laptop. So I got to play with some new Ubuntu Compiz Xgl goodness this week and restore my wife's windows installation before she needs the laptop for work.Just boot knoppix, check networking anddd if=/dev/hda | gzip -9 | rsh user@dest "cat >backup-hda.dd.gz"to restoredd if=/dev/hda | gzip -9 | rsh user@dest "cat >backup-hda.dd.gz"rsh user@dest "cat backup-hda.dd.gz" | gunzip | dd of=/dev/hdaTo keep you backup's file size low run a program that can write 0s to the unwritten space (such as Eraser)

@realnebby: Yes, but some people like...oh, I don't know, decent OSes, perhaps? Or maybe it's just hardware that's _not_ incompatible with everything on the planet. Wait, it might be a decent supply of _good_ programs? Hmm...how about paying reasonable prices? Or real multitasking?

If you used 'dd' you would be wasting your time. You want to transfer the data to a "larger" hard drive. DD would make your "larger" drive the same size as the one you're moving the data from.

A good software that is also free is <a class="user" href="http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html</a> .And it has a lot of features for a free software , actually i think it has more than a lot of paid softwares , and is easier than use than many of them.You can store all the backups made with it online on their servers up to 3gb as a free member ( larger packages are available at resonable price ) I advise all who need one to use it
