• Program to "mirror" harddrive?
    10 replies, posted
Currently I've got an old IDE harddrive with only 120GB for my games and programs, and now it's the time that there's like no more space left. So, I want to move all the stuff from it, to my second HDD, which is an SATA. What I now want is a program, that would copy all the stuff over, but put let me choice what goes where. I have everything installed on my IDE like D:\Fallout 3, but I want to seperate it now like on my SATA E:\Games\Fallout 3. Would be awesome too if it'd change the registry entrys by it's own. Is there even a program like that out?
Just reinstall your shit on the new harddrive. It's much better anyway and won't take much more than a couple of hours since it's not that much.
Or do what i did and copypasta the stuff to the new drive and remap the drive letter so its the same as the old one. also the HDD realised its time is coming and is now D:
Why don't you partition your sata drive and make a space dedicated to games and then copy everything over.
Fire up a Linux live cd. Open up terminal, and run: [code] mkdir /mnt/win mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/win dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/win/disk.img [/code] I may not have your disk names right, so you should check that. Also doing: [code] man dd [/code] Wouldn't be a bad idea

For a direct transfer, Paragon Partition Manager, otherwise Acronis True Image. Or do it in Linux, but for sensitive operations I prefer a GUI. There's also some free GUI tools for linux, like gparted.

Ulimate booy disk, it will give you tools to mirror it
