Hard drive cloning. some advice please

Postby funk » Wed Jul 22, 2015 4:29 pm

Hi All.
I am just looking into cloning my hard drives in the D8B and HDR.
been on the web for advice but there is loads of advice and programs all confusing.
so im sure you guys must have been through it.so who better to ask.
im a bit worried i may f/u and damage/ wipe my main drive, so

1, do i need special software to do this ?
2, if so are there any good free programs that will do it you can recommend ?
3, Things to look out for ?

I am using windows XP, ( still )


Cheers if you can help a great big bar of mint Areo could be the lore ;)

Hey Funk;

I sent you a PM with file (I hope) that explains how to clone a hard drive (d8b specifically).

If you do not get the PDF PM me with your email and I send it that way.

Cheers
Bruce
