Hi guys

I need to replace a hard drive in my boys Pc, But rather than doing a new install could i not just copy the drives some how.

They are both Ide drives.
 
Just back it up with the likes of Acronis true image (or similar), switch hdd and install the image on it and it will be exactly like the other one, all files, mp3s etc etc will be there. It will only take about 15 minutes to back up and same to recover it....depending on drive size.
 
Definitely Acronis or Ghost. I tend to prefer to Ghost, but it's largely personal preference. I've only used Acronis a handful of time, but it's never failed me.
 
acronis true image for me even change the size of the partitions if your'e going to use a bigger drive
