I've got Acronis True Image, and I just picked up a new 120gb hard drive at Fry's (Grand Opening sale at the one up here in Seattle: 120GB WD SE for $50 after MIR). I was wondering if it's possible to make an image of my old drive, then put it on the new one, so I have the new one set up like my current one is. I'd hate to spend the hours to reinstall everything if I can just do something like that.
TIA
 
Yes, that is very possible. But before you remove the old OS. Double check to make sure the new image file works. ( i have some images not work ) Good luck. K1ll1nT1m3

PS. I do it all the time. I have a basic image stored on 2 cds so I dont have to reinstall and configure everything.
