Is there a way to do this ? Make an hard drive image from my "old" disk to
put it on my new hard drive disk ? Then switch my 2 hard drive on my laptop
and restart it on this new hard drive like a dream ? If yes, by which tool
software ?
I upgraded my daughter's laptop drive recently. I took both the old drive and
the new drive and put them in my Thinkpad laptop that has capability for 2
drives. The CD that came with the new drive had a utility to copy the
partition to the new drive. Then I used GParted to resize the partition on
the new drive. Reinstalled the drive in the original laptop and after Windows
ran chkdsk at startup, it was all set.
If your drive does not have such a utility disk, you can use GParted to
copy/paste a partition from one drive to the other.
If you don't have access to a laptop with 2 drive bays, you can use the
Clonezilla program to copy the partition to an image file and then restore
that image file to the new drive. I've never used that option, so I'm not
sure where you'd be able to store the image (network drive? external USB
drive?)
