HDD TO SSD migration software.

Hi Guys,

Could you please recommend a free software utility to clone a HDD.

There are so many out there, just want your feedback as to which one is best.

 

Thanks guys.

Boot on a linux ubuntu usb key then follow the tuto http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/

It worked like a charm for me.
After the "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc" It's long and you don't have progress % feedback but it works.

Then when booting on the ssd windows you won't be able to browse your old hdd because they will have the same exact signature.
To modify that and clean your old hdd when on windows.
Run diskpart.
list disk
select disk ... (choose your old hdd)
clean

create partition primary

active

format fs=ntfs quick
assign

Then you are done.
