I am upgrading some standalone computers from 10GB HDD to 20GB HDD. What is the best way to get ALL the data from the old HDD to the new HDD?

The easiest way we know is to use Ghost. Add new 20GB HDD as slave and use Ghost to copy all information then remove 10GB HDD and replace 20GB HDD as primary. If you do not have Ghost you could put the old 10GB HDD on as slave so that the data canbe copied over. Hope this solves your problem.

I have had good luck with the drive copy tool that comes with Western Digital drives.

Use manual mode, and select just the copy partition option.

See if the mfg of the new drive has a similar utility that you can download.

Other answers are good ones. Drive Image
and Partition Magic are two others to
consider.

Good Luck Lee
