First its not a 750GB but a 640GB as the product says. Well I have purshased a new much bigger hard drive and want to move the netir system over to the new hard drive so i want to move everything.
Operating system, programs, files, folder, the hole lot, basicly clone my drive u could say so i can take out the old one and just use the. The question is how do i do this?Thanks to all who help

Some hard disk manufacturers supply a utility that does just that! Check the website of the drive manufacturer in the support section to see if one is available.
The other option is to get Norton Ghost, this allows you to clone from one drive to another.

There is a free tool named CloneZilla that can clone one hard drive to another hard drive or one partition to another partition, or hard drive to image and partition to image.
It's similar to Norton Ghost, but supports more file systems.
I would suggest to use the CloneZilla live CD.

You will also need a USB hard disc caddy usually .
I recommend Acronis True Image 11 for Vista or 7 .

If you bought a WD drive then go here first.

As above the companies that sell drives offer people a CD or floppy to transfer old to new.Playing to the angels
