05-28-2004, 09:39 AM

Just wondering what the easiest method is for transferring one hard drive's contents to another. I've got a hard drive that is on its last legs.

I was going to just slap in a new hard drive and set the old drive as slave and do a fresh install of XP on the new drive, but then I have to go through the tedious task of installing all my programs again.

Is there any software that can help me transfer the data without having to reinstall everything?

I am going to buy a new hard drive today, is there any portable hard drives I should be looking at while I am there that would make this easier?

Thanks.
