I just got this new (to me) computer. I still have my old one running. It has a 40gb WD hd. in the old one and the new one has a 750gb (not sure of brand). The reason for all this is the new computer hd is a SATA and the old one is IDE. I'm not sure there is an IDE connection in this new computer.
I have Acronis True Image WD edition that I can use to migrate my files to the new computer. or
Is there a way to move my files off the 40gb to the new 750gb maybe through a USB cable, while both puters are running? I also have a external USB drive box that I can put my 40gb into and use that. What's the best way? Also what do you do to make the files and programs (most were created under win XP) work under Vista 64 which is the operating system on the new computer. (NO JOKES) I mean without having to reinstall them from original disks etc.
After taking care of all that, I have an 80gb wd hd that I had cloned from the 40gb and was set up to be my new everyday hd. However, I ran into this computer I just bought and never swapped the two. Now I would like to put the 80gb into the USB external box and use that as my backup hd. What software is there to synchronize the two hds so that the backup always has the same files as the new hd? Is that even possible?
