Hi,

I have an external hard disk where I backup my files and system backups.
Yesterday, I purchased a larger external hard disk and want to transfer
everything to the new disk.

The only command I have noticed is DISKCOPY which might do this. Will
this copy everything from the source disk to destination disk? Will the
Vista backup directories and shadow (backup) files be copied too?

Is there any other tool (preferably freeware) that will do this for me?

Thank you in advance.

Download Clonezilla Live CD (freeware).

Boot from CD.
Create an image of the hard disk, then write the image to the new hard disk.

The website will have instructions, but it is menu driven and not too
hard to follow.

Doing it via an image will guarantee _everything_ will get copied.

HTH.
