Simple straightforward hard drive cloning software?

I tended to avoid automatic updates, they really annoyed me. Occasionally it installed some, I don't know whether it will have it or not. Mind you the install was made around mid last year I suppose...maybe later? I would say it probably does have it, but I cant be sure.

Stupid!! There are many security vulnerabilities fixed in it.

I hope SP1 wasn't installed and the sysprep fix will fix your problems.
Does Partition Wizard say how long it takes to finish? Or does it say some percentage and can you calculate it yourself?

disk management screenshot please

I have not had a single problem with security in over 2 years now, and I'm very slack about it. In my opinion it just takes some common sense and you're fine.

So is it bad if I have SP1 installed or not? you contradict yourself there.

Partition Wizard gives no times, but I can tell its gonna take a while. Its now copying G, at 1%, its been maybe 20 minutes? While to go yet :P

You didn't have a single probl;em with security... hahahaha lol. How do you know??? Hackers and websites can damage you OS without you noticing it.

If you have SP1 you already have the fix, so the fix doesn't fix it. That's why I hope SP1 and so the fix isn't installed yet

1GB partition has been created. And probably also filled with data (?). I think Partition Wizard just hide it till it finishes. It's type is not NTFS yet.

1% in 20 minutes???? So maybe 1.99% in 20 minutes. So 1% in 10 minutes. Takes at least 1000 minutes if it's correct

Well ok, so maybe my OS is damaged or something, I see no effects though :P

It can be damaged but I don't think so yet. Please make a recalculation how long it takes. For example how long does it take from 2 to 3%?
