A friend of mine is going from a 40 gig to a 120 gig hard drive. He doesn't want to piggyback them, he just wants to transfer everything to the new one. Any suggestions for the best/cheapest software app that will migrate everything including the OS from one to the other?

He's going to have to install an OS to restore any sort of backup he makes, I think....

Windows has a built in backup tool, though. Norton Ghost would probably work also.

If he wants to connect the new drive temporarily, he could make a mirror copy of it - lots of programs out there to do this... i found this one searching google in about 1 minute. =) http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/2/13-2-39.shtml

Ghost works pretty well. I've never bothered to use anything else, actually.

Ghost, always.

Norton Ghost will do the trick. Plus, it is a lot easier than reinstalling O/S and then reinstalling all the apps.
