FTK Imager.
It's free and incredibly powerful but maybe not exactly user friendly for such a consumer related activity. |

I use acronis. I heard there was a free version but I haven't seen it.

I used the image backup that comes with windows 7 recently to replace a failing HD...worked like a charm

how did it work, can you clone directly to the new drive and just swap them out?

I have also used EaseUS ToDo Backup. Very easy to use and 100% free.

The only thing I had to be sure of is that the HD I replaced the bad one with was the same size or larger. Mine was a 500GB drive so I just went with the same size. It was flawless. |
