Re: Best way to clone and restore hard drive?

You will need a second drive big enough to hold the old drive.

You probably could move stuff around and get a second partition on there but it would be pain to do.

Something like this

or a bootable linux cd and the command dd or cp could do it.

Another way to do it is using the built in backup for window7 and 8.

In windows 7 it will create a vdi file which is a clone of the drive.
