    For what it's worth you might as well plug in your external disk, select all copy and paste. It really isn't that complicated, and you'll save yourself some money too.

    But then again, unless you're a pirate that costs money.
    I'm not actually tight, but saving money does feel good.

    Well, precisely, the more you save on software, the more you can spend on hardware to run the software!

    @bikejumpr: It all depends on what you are trying to do. If you want to copy your main OS drive to a backup drive, to use, just in case your main OS drive/partition goes bad, then what sammorris suggests, won't work, and what wdowsing suggests, is the way to go.

    Absolutely. I should really have mentioned that before. Programs like Norton Ghost are necessary to get the big picture for operational disks, passive data disks don't need the process applied though.
