| 1224077 | 2011-08-17 11:50:00 | Might be a bit of a silly question but... Am I able to clone my dying Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 onto any Western Digital, Samsung etc HDD? Would like to install it on a bigger drive... if I can, and not have 7 OEM tell me there is a hardware change and spit the dummy. |

| 1224082 | 2011-08-17 13:29:00 | With either the western digital or Seagate Acronis tool you just need to have one drive of that nanufacturer. Doesn't matter if it is the source drive or destination for the clone. :pf1mobmini: |

I'd use Active@ Windows won't care about an HDD change, even it it did, it will just make you reactivate. I changed MB, CPU and RAM on one, wanted activation again but it accepted it. |

(no good with Win7 though) |

(no good with Win7 though) I do actually use Ghost 2002 to carry out a weekly clone of the C: partition on a sata 500GB Seagate to an identicle drive using a sata caddy. However the system is Win7 Home OEM 32 bit, maybe it wouldn't like 64 bit. The transfer speed varies as it copies but 3GB/minute would be average. |
