A lot of great information, and a lot of had work. But my question boils down to one thing, is there a realiable, functional app that will make my new HD the boot drive. The story, I fixed my bricked Seagate 7200.11 (thanks to this forum) and I am trying to make my new WD Cavier Black 1T as the boot drive. Acronis fails, tried 3 times - the error codes (yes 2) do not show up in their help database. I have Seagate Disk Wizard, but have not tried that yet, some reason i don't trust it. Any suggestions? Thank you, RocketDog
