I downloaded acronis and thought this would work and at the stage i clicked reboot to continue I got "Loading please wait" on a black screen and it didnt seem to proceed so I did a hard shut down and booted backed to desktop and all is the same. What do i need that works and how do i do it ? thnx Rockape. Awards

Boot off your CD clone the correct drive to Source to Destination then remove the old drive and you should be able to boot of the new drives with the old OS on it.

I would of run spinrite before doing that though. It might be a bit expensive but this program has saved many hard drives from crashing hard . On a 2 terabit HD it could take a week to run it goeas that deep into cleaning up the data. https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm hxtr 1 Awards
