You have to clone them, or use Acronis that supports dissimilar hardware. If you just copy the image to the new hard drive, it won't work, I can't remember, but I think its the disk signature that prevents this, there is a version of True Image that will work with this. Its all on this board if someone wants to search for it. See Message 29450381

Thanks for your help Josh, I understand that in Cloning one copies the whole HD (all partitions) with Imaging one can do individual partitions, folders & files with or without compression. Using Acronis True Image Home 2011 I usually make several images during set up a HD, until the finalized, than periodically as data & progs gets added. The recent problem I ran into on the current HD with the System Partition and the OS in not being on the first partition (had an old XP deleted from the HD, was dual booted) imaging & recovering will not transfer the bootmngr. Will have to read up about it/try other prog as some suggested. Probably the best way is a clean install, more work, but that's the way it goes. Alex
