I want to migrate all my data including OS to the new HD using a tool. I already worked with Acronis True Image 9.0 which has done a pretty good job. It's easy to use, fast and reliable. But I only got the demo version.
Now I saw that Seagate offers a free software called Seagate DiscWizard which is a customized Acronis software. It will only run with at least one Seagate drive installed (so they say) which is no problem for me. :)
So I installed the software but had some trouble at the end of the installation routine. After 99% the installer does not respond. But if you wait 5-10 minutes it finishes successfully.
The first start of the software took some time as well. It analysed the new drive which took again 5 minutes or so.
But after that it was a cakewalk to copy the data onto the new drive. After the copy has finished I disconnected the old EIDE drive and - voilà the system was fully migrated to the new drive.

I changed my harddrive a few days ago. Of course I tried to use DiscWizard but it could not recognize my new Seagate HD which was attached using USB. So I ended up using a friends Acronis True Image 2009 to clone the HD. :(
