This might be a real easy question to answer but I have to upgrade my hard drive here soon and I do not want to reinstall my operating system and all my programs and settings. Is there some type of software out there that will allow me to complete this task. Dont want to have to start from scratch. I appreciate it. Thanks

Things like Ghost or Acronis are the 2 most commnly used applications but there are limits to this type of Technology.

The most obvious is if you are moving from a IDE HDD to a SATA HDD you can not clone the Drive and have it work well boot on most M'Boards at least because the SATA Drivers will not be present on the New HDD.

But there are some free applications available like these though I have never personally used any of them so I don't know how well they work
