Windows 7: Complete copy of hard drive???

Hi all.

I am currently using a 250Gb hard drive that is almost ful due to me recording large amounts of audio and other music related products(VST's and effects etc).

I need to buy a new 1Tb hard drive and copy all of the 250gb hard drive right across, Win 7 included. Everything even virus' if they are there and I need for it to just run straight away as though nothing has changed except for the extra 750Gb of memory if you can see what I mean. I don't want to have to go re-install of of my stuff.

I have a 1Tb drive that I am using as backup at the moment, a slave drive but it has a lot of valuable data on it so I don't want to wipe it, I would prefer to buy a new 1Tb and go from there. Can this be done? Are there any tutorials that show you how to copy a whole hard drive over like this??

thanks for your time, Ste.

Have a look here; Best FREE Partition Manager Freeware for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 32 bit & 64 bit. EaseUS free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.

You also have a Western Digital HD listed in your specs. Western Digital offers a scaled down version of Acronis for free. It has a clone feature included in it. You can install ti and clone 1 hard drive to the other, which will transfer your OS, apps, email and everything else. Download it here. It just has to see a western digital drive to work, but does not have to be involved in the transfer. Then you can use the partitioning tool that Pooch linked to, for partitioning it.

Cheers guys, came across Macrium Reflect which is really A B C. Something I defo need :-)

If I can't work it I will be straight back to try these. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it. Ste.
