Solved: I need a disk cloning recommendation

I purchased TI10 during Oct 2006. For > 2 months, I have been trying to get it to work. I want to clone a Hard Disk Drive [ HDD ], by using the bootable feature, so I can avoid installing the product. I want to do this to avoid damaging the computer's file system.

I tried to clone from 1 SATA HDD, Western Digital 80 GB to a 2nd SATA HDD, Western Digital 80 GB. Acronis tech support has been uncooperative. They asked me to prepare a report. I did. I sent it to them, twice. I am still trying to resolve that issue.

Norton Ghost 10 does not have the feature [ cloning, using bootable CD ].

I was able to successfully use Norton Ghost 2003. NG 2003 doesn't support USB drives.

Can you recommend a different product, 1 that supports SATA HDD cloning as well as cloning to USB drives?

Sincerely,
RF123

Acronis ... A very Big Welcome to the TSG forum.

I use CasperXP .. But it costs way more than it's worth.

I have cloned all combinations of drives with it .... ATA, SATA, internally ... or ATA usb externally.
It can have a little trouble with cloning fat recovery partitions.
The main reason I still use the "little ghost" .. It's extremely simple and fast.

Have you tried to make an Acronis recovery image .. And recover the new drive that way ?
