Clone Win7 boot drive
Does anyone know how to clone a Win7 boot drive? I'm upgrading from a small SSD to a larger one and do not, under any circumstances, want to reinstall Win.
I've tried using XXClone but that failed to create a *bootable* disk.

What make of SSD? If it's intel there are really good migration tools you can get, I am sure other manufacturers must have the same. Post up and we can take a look.

I did not look in that direction. Both the drives are Crucial M4. Older is 64Gb, newer 128GB.

I forgot to update this...
I ended up using EaseUs and it worked like a charm: http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Disk...-10867157.html
