How do I copy everything to a new hard drive? - Haydn - 19.03.2013

I've bought a new hard drive (3tb seagate) and I have all my files, I want to copy EVERYTHING over to the new hard drive. How do I do it? I know about cloning, but it's all a bit confusing to me, can someone give a me a dumb description haha.

NOTE: I'll be able to have both hard drives connected at the same time.

there's a software which you boot your computer from, and it simply copy the whole hard drive data for the new one.

I just don't remember the name... sorry! D;

Perfect, I need exactly that, or something like it. Anyone know?

Why not use the "old" method? Select all of your files using CTRL + A then copy them using CTRL + C after that paste them to your new HDD using CTRL + V. I hope you understood those basic instructions. Might take time but it's a cheap and easy way to do.

EDIT: I just found this: http://www.todo-backup.com/download/ I'm not sure if it'll do the job.

I don't think that's a way. I was reading before and it said something like it doesn't copy everything or something.

Copy everything except your OS. Simple as that...

@Haydn, if you cannot find the program, what you can do is boot up your computer with a linux live cd OS, and copy everything over it.
If you wanna wait at max until tomorrow, i'll get the name of it today and send it for you.
