Copy old HD over to new one?

[j7n]

Things like this are usually done from a boot CD, so that nothing gets installed on any of the partitions in question. It's not morally worse to use an illegal boot disk compared to installing a trial version for the sole purpose of taking advantage of it (instead of evaluation).

Cloning become easier if you have assigned individual partitions for your SYSTEM, PROGRAMS and FILES. In this case you clone only the OS (depending on if mobo is the same), only applications or opt to reoganize USER FILES by copying them manually.

I guess he sorted it 6 years ago ?
