Hi guys my c drive with my windows 7 on and all program files is starting to glitch on boot up and sometimes a blue screen so I bought  a new WD sata hard drive and have installed it.

 

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.

Clonezilla will help you do that. If that does not work I can get you a copy of Acronis.

Best thing to do is plug both drives in. 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.

Have you run "chkdsk " on the old drive ?

 

If so then Clonezilla should work

Order does not matter in the switches.

/F              Fixes errors on the disk.

/R              Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
                  (implies /F).

To see the Command Format open an Elevated Prompt

chkdsk /?

Good to hear it worked. 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.
