I could simply take an image of the drive and restore the image to the new drive using the bootable media but I was looking for a reason to review the Acronis True Image Drive Cloning process so here is the review. The second drive, Disk 1, is the new 250 Gigabyte drive that will be the replacement for the dying drive after the clone is complete. It is partitioned at about 50 Gigabytes for the Windows OS and the applications and there is some allocated space available in case I wanted to dual boot or use the partition for other reasons. Disk 0 is the original 160 Gigabyte drive that is about ready to byte the dust.
The Windows drive manager shows the two hard drives installed in the computer. A new drive is temporarily installed using the secondary SATA connector as shown below. Luckily, this drive is not actually crashing Windows yet so we have a chance to clone it to a new disk. See our full review of Acronis True Image 2017. This review can be used as a base for upgrading a hard drive using True Image. The looks of True Image have changed a bit but the concept of cloning a hard drive to upgrade it has not changed much. This review of Acronis True Image was performed on an older version of the cloning software. This review would work for either scenario. The True Image cloning utility is also a great tool to use if you just want to upgrade your drive to a larger one. Cloning is the perfect tool to move the entire contents of a failing drive to a new one. Msiexec /update \AcronisTrueImage2017_patch_5555.This review of cloning a hard drive using True Image is being done because of a hard drive that is about to have a physical failure.
