New External Hard Drive

[Skyraptor]

I just ordered a new external drive. I am looking for software that will backup my entire system. I mean everything. The OS, registry, Documents, Pictures, Music, all my games and other software. I mean my entire hard drive. I would like this so I don't have to spend 2 days reinstalling everything again. (just went through all that). Not a process I want to do again. Any help will be extremely appreciated. Not much fun sitting through the install and endless updates.

Give Macrium Reflex a try. It is FREE and does a great job.

Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download

I know what you're talking about- what a pain, huh? Only two days?

I've use Acronis for years. the interface takes some getting used to, but it just works.

It's not free. You can get it here: Backup software for data backup and disaster recovery in Windows and Linux - Acronis

Enjoy!

If you have a Western Digital or Seagate hard drive, they offer a free scaled down version of Acronis free. Westen Digitals version can be found here. Seagates version is called Disc wizzard.

I recommended the free Acronis versions because Macrium had already been suggested. Actually, I use both-Just to be sure.
