Re: hard drive copping?
I use Acronis True Image, but it's not free.
There might be free software out there, but I don't mind paying to protect my data. Can you put a price on your data these days?
Acronis True Image Home 2010 is only $40 btw and it does Acronis Online Backup (Acronis online storage services automatically backup files over the internet to a secure location.)

Actually, I think you're entitled to a free license if you've got a Western Digital HDD, particularly for what the op wants to accomplish.Apoptosis wrote:I use Acronis True Image, but it's not free.
@kylepaddock
I suggest going to Western Digital's website to see if you can download Acronis from there.
Edit:
Found the link

Re: hard drive copping?
It installed and said it could not complete because My OS was not a WD drive. Or, should I just install Win7?

Seagate also has an acronis-based software set, but you'll have to look into it to see if it will do exactly what you need
