Is there a freeware that help with copy harddisk to another harddisk?
Question by Peeti W: Is there a freeware that help with copy harddisk to another harddisk?
I am planning to buy a bigger harddisk soon. The last times I did that it took me till morning to completely transfer files from my 200Gb to bigger one. I need some program that will be able to copy 250Gb worth of files from one disk to another.
What would be recommended software for this purpose?

That question is more complex than it sounds.
If you are copying from one disk to a same-size partition on the new hard drive, you can clone or image one to the other. The software to do this can be downloaded from the website of the new HD’s manufacturer. That’s a good idea if your original partition contains an operating system–you want the OS to hang together, so cloning or imaging works best to keep everything synchronized.
For simple data files copied to another drive or partition of a different size, individual file copying still works best. A dual-pane file manager like 7-Zip in addition to xplorer2 lite or FreeCommander will give you good control over file management.
Another alternative that might work for you is RichCopy.
