disk image software?

[Torrey Lauer]

I want to be able to make an image of a hard drive, install a SATA drive,
and then use the software to put the image onto the SATA drive.

I've looked at Norton Ghost 10.0, but some reviews say that Norton Ghost
doesn't work or works poorly trying to get an image onto a SATA drive.

Any feedback is appreciated as well as any other software that would do
this.

Thanks!

Acronis True Image 9.0

Acronis True Image 9.0 provides you two backup options in one software:

1) Our original disk imaging backup option which enables you to create an
image of your entire hard disk drive, including the operating system,
applications, user settings, and all data. Use the image to restore your PC
to a known working state without any reinstallation.

2) A new file-based backup option which enables you to backup and restore
individual files and folders, like your My Documents folder or a specific
file, like your latest tax return. A software wizard walks you through all of
the steps.

Acronis True Image 9.0 now includes the disk cloning and disk deployment
capabilities. If your hard drive is full, Acronis True Image will help you to
quickly and easily deploy a new hard disk on your PC — migrating all data,
operating systems, programs, software patches and updates, configuration
files, preferences, e-mail and everything else automatically!


Clone an old hard disk drive to a new one

Install new hard disk drive as a boot disk or as an additional storage device

Re-deploy old hard disk

Resize transferred partitions to match new hard disk size

Create, copy, move, and delete partitions

Securely clean and wipe old hard disk

Hope this helps

Symantec Ghost works fine.
Acronis True Image would as well.
BootIt NG should do what you need too.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the suggestions. I think I'm going to try
the TrueImage option.
