645566 2008-03-02 08:15:00 I bought a new HDD, which I partitioned, now I want to clone this HDD to my one of the partitions on the new HDD.

I googled it, but I don't know what the best program is for this and the best way to do it.

So a little bit of help from people who know would be great.

Cheers.

it will, works well and is free. Providing it sees at least one seagate drive it will work. Should also work for maxtor anyway seeing as seagate owns them as well.

Seagate discwizard is now just a cut down version of Acronis, one of the better imaging programs. Most people use either that or Norton Ghost. There are lot of other popular imaging programs however.
