| 768424 | 2009-05-02 23:21:00 | I use Acronis True Image (a commercial product but well worth the money in my opinion). Good product - If you are using Seagate drives, you can always use the free Seagate DiscWizard (www.seagate.com) - which works the same as the Acronis for cloning a Drive. The Seagate software usually spits the dummy if there are no Seagate drives - you need at least one. Note: this will copy the drive to another, but not resize the partitions on the existing drive. For drive resizing I also use the free Paragon Partition Manager (download.cnet.com) - you have to register it to get a key, but its free and no big deal. |

| 768425 | 2009-05-03 00:12:00 | Hi Blam 6: Thanks for advice. Can you take me through the next steps. have downloaded GParted onto CD. Having trouble getting it to boot. Have Gigabyte GA-P35 / Vista Home. I have set boot priority to CD-ROM first. It asks boot DVD/CD, then I can hear it run but it proceeds to boot into Vista! Where have I gone wrong? As Trev said, did you burn the image to the CD or just the file? Insert a black Cd into CD/DVD rom drive Download ImgBurn (speedlabs.org) then select "Burn Image to CD" Burn at slowest speed possible. Blam |

Blam I would use a blank CD as a black one might not be empty :p |

| 768428 | 2009-05-04 02:13:00 | Actually it can't linw-not the system partition unfortunately. Moving/Resizing partitions can all be done within gparted. just ask here if you get stuck:) Blam Sorry, have done it on my Vista Home Premium! XP may not be able to do it but the Vista disk management tools are far better. |
