    I wanted to clone a disk to one of somewhat larger size.
    I searched here using keywords disk and clone and got dozens (I only looked at the first page).
    to wit:

    What does Spybot have to do with cloning disks?

    Anyways, how do I do a search that would focus on what I want?

    Gee, not only did the search I did make no sense, neither did any of two responses. :-(

    I can't help you with that.



    You wondered why Spybot came up.

    I answered.

    Clone has more than one meaning. You assume that clone only has to do with drives.

    Personally I have used Symantec's Norton Ghost. Works great! Has lots of features. Check out this link. http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/

    You can get it cheaper elsewhere though.

    WOW 19.1MB!
    That's twice as large (almost) as my first hard disk.

    I finally ended up just using xcopy to copy everything over, then installing the OS, and re-installing the apps. It's not that difficult, as I only have about 10 apps installed.
    Norton Ghost has been recommended by others, but I can't see dropping the dosh for an app that I might use once or twice more.
    I looked at HDcopy and HDCLone, one only does an image copy to identical disks, and one only does it from a floppy boot.
    I'll look at HD image someday.
