I would like to find a program that is free to copy over my info from the ST drive to the WD7500 Drive. I would like to to pretty much clone it. I was wondering what i should do, just keep the data on it ect. Whats your input. I am also going to make a file shared to my network. I don't need loots of room

1. I have a ST3250620AS : 250.0 GB. Which I am using with Vista X64. Has 8325 hours on it.
2. A spare WD2500KS 250.0 GB. Which is not in use with XP X32. Has 7718 hours on it.
3. A new WD 7500AACS 750.0 GB. Which is blank. Has 1277 hours on it.

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.

@kylepaddock
I suggest going to Western Digital's website to see if you can download Acronis from there.

I have a WD hard drive with WD sync but it doesn't coppy it just backs it up. should i use the new 750GB HDD even thought the read/write speeds are slower.

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
