How to clone a hard drive

[kLN93]

I just bought a 1TB hard drive and wanted to know how to clone my operating system and all its data from my old HDD to my new one. I tried using AOMEI backupper. I tried to clone a partition to my new drive but I think I did something wrong, when I go to my computer I can no longer see my 1tb drive and can only see "Copy of C" any help would be appreciated.

I think you would be better cloning the whole disk, not just doing a partition copy.

Don't worry, your new drive is still there. You can only see lettered partitions in explorer view.

You can get the rest going using built in disk mgmt, or a decent partition tool, like the free aomei partition assistant.

Create partitions from the remaining unallocated space on the disk and give them drive letters.

Looks ok.

I got a bit of a problem, I removed the factory image partition and when I try to boot now, it says "bootmgr is missing" I can still boot from my other hard drive.
