Disk Imaging Softwares
I am planning to upgrade my 160gb hard disk to a larger drive, but keep the existing hardwares (board, ram, cpu) the same. I will need a disk imaging software to clone my whole 160gb disk to the new disk to keep my files and installed programs in tact. Which disk imaging softwares would you recommend?

If you have an Intel motherboard check in the drivers CD...it might have a free oem version of Acronis True ImageLast edited by RajanUrs; 11-15-2009 at 02:48 AM.

I've also used Acronis many times, always been happy with it.

Acronis TrueImage
But honestly you can just download the manufacturers setup tools .iso which will include software simular to Acronis which will duplicate two disks.

That is true... western digital offers a WD Acronis offering at http://www.support.wdc.com . Sure other HD companies have something similar.
I'd rather have the full version... nice tool to have. Never tried the offering from WD though...Windows 10 to Linux and Mac OSX: I'm PARSECs better than you. Eat my dust!!!

I would suggest Acronis True Image (like everyone else has so far), however Paragon Drive Backup is also pretty good and I'd rate it just as good as Acronis.
