Be Excellent To Each Other

Gentlemen!

I recently purchased myself a 1TB super slinky hdd for my 'pooter with the intention of doing a reinstall of Vista (yes, I know) and using it as my primary hard drive, with the existing one relegated to holding backups of important stuff.

However!

Half-way through doing the reinstall I got bored, realising there's nothing wrong with the existing install, other than the disk is getting a tad full. And I just cannot be arsed to go through all the arse ache of installing everything from scratch again, particularly when a lot of my stuff is digital downloads a la Steam and GOG.

So... is there an easy way for me to clone the existing drive onto the new one, so that I can just copy everything over and boot from the new drive instead, and have Vista never notice a thing?

Fellow nerds, I require your assistance!

Check and see if there is a version of Ghost available for Vista 64 from (a reputable local software shop - Ed).

Or Partition Magic if that's still being made.

Think I used Acronis True Image last time I did this.

I did it with Acronis 11 IIRC. But, that was Vista 32 and XP32. Not tried it with a 64 bit OS.

A drive imaging program running from a boot disk won't give a stuff about 32bit/64bit OSs. It's all just 1s and 0s on the drive. Acronis is the usual go-to app these days, although Ghost/Partition Magic (they are basically the same app now) will work too.
