Cloning/Ghosting a hard drive?

I've used the free version of Macrium Reflect in the past, and it worked great.  It even has the ability to mount an image and access files directly from it.  Lots of compression options, etc...

Clonezilla is your friend as it handles many formats too.  Used it last night to upgrade to bigger ssd drive.  Will do again on another machine tonight.

I'd be interested in this too. If you change your processor will it still work?

One of the main features I like is it allows to clone a smaller source drive to a larger target drive.

I think Acronis can do this, too, but I haven't tried it. Acronis has worked great for me, and it's pretty straightforward, but Clonezilla being open-source gives me the idea it might be set up even easier.

For separate drives, versus partitions on a drive, make sure you know your hard drive names. Not letters designations, but the name on the drive itself.
