How to Clone a hard Drive
Use a software program like Clonezilla from a live CD.
This software works well when upgrading a hard drive that is full. A full hard drive will slow down a computer so it is well worth upgrading.
Once a live CD has been downloaded connect the new internal hard drive with USB cable and then reboot computer. BIOS setup may need to be changed if normally set to boot from the hard drive. Set to boot from CD or USB. Wherever the Live software is located.
Once the software is loaded run and follow the prompts. There are a few steps that may seem confusing but it works. Takes quite some time to complete so a stable power environment is essential. Laptop running of a battery with adapter connected should be Ok. If battery runs alone without AC back up it may run out.
