Been thinking about getting a bigger hard drive, and I came across an article on how to migrate your complete OS, apps, data over to the new drive easily without having to reformat and reinstall everything from scratch.
There are professional products such as Norton Ghost and Acronis TrueImage that do hard disk imaging, but I didn't know that Seagate has a rebranded version of TrueImage that you can download for free.

I read this article on it, and they highly recommend it. The author had a few hiccups, only because he was using an old version - the key is to download the latest software directly from their website.

Have you had any hard drive migration experiences in the past? Any other tips to share? I must admit, I have always tended to start from scratch with the new drive, and just mount the old drive as a secondary to copy any important data over.
