  • Hi,

      this is what you have to do:

    - download from fileconnect the recovery cd iso of besr 2010 or new Symantec System Recovery 2011

    - power down the pc and attach the second hard drive to the machine

    - power on the pc and boot from recovery cd

    - select clone

    You can use a second solution:

    - the first point is the same

    - power on pc and boot from recovery pc

    - make an image of pc on a network share or external drive (backup option)

    - when finish you can shut down the source pc

    - power on the desitnation pc

    - boot from the boot cd

    - restore image you have created (restore option)

    - if the hardware is different remember to check the restore anywhere option

    When finish reboot pc.

  • It's getting more technical hehe.. But I think im getting it somehow...Thanks.

  • I have a question. When you say clone does that mean copy a complete hard drive? For example hard drive A has 75% files saved in it. Then you try to clone it (either ghost or system recovery) it will copy all the 75% files in the hard drive B?

     

    Thanks in advance.

  • hi...you need to use Symantec Ghost Soulation 2.5 ...but i havent done since...
