How to perfectly clone my HD...HELP...

Recently upgraded to version 11, better integration into Windows 7 but I miss the UI of 10.

I'm still at v2009. Skipped 2010, but am pondering 2011. Any caveats? What do you miss?

Not familiar with cloneHD.

Did you only have one HD to begin with?

Could be the disk ID.
If so , running startup repair from 7 dvd should fix it.

Macrium Reflect

Drive Image XML

Clonezilla

Paragon's free program looks pretty decent, and even has a scheduler. Which one of these do you use?

I use this, it's not cheap, tho. Paragon Hard Disk Manager for Virtual Server - Overview

The clone function is on other ( less esoteric ) Pargon apps, too - dunno if it's on the free one.

Looks like more than I require at the moment. And it's definitely not cheap!

I've been using Acronis TI since 2004. It really serves my purposes, but they're just so hit and miss. Skipped 2010 since it was so buggy. Investigating 2011.

Yes, it's on the free version, but the free version is missing some features (of course), of which one is 64 bit support, but that can be found in the 'Personal version', which is only $10 (but, as one might expect for that price, still missing some features). 'Pro' version is $80.

no i want to clone the one to my clean one that is all

Did you try plugging in only the cloned HD and running startup repir?

Might take 2 or 3 runs.

MT do free one. MiniTool Drive Copy is a good disk clone tool
