Anyone ever used Seagate's disc wizard ??

[pickel]

I'm wanting to take the contents of a 2 gig hard drive and copy it to a larger Seagate HD and went to their site and found their program Disc Wizard. Seems real easy. Anyone tried this before ??

I use DW religiously but I have never tried the feature you want to try.
Do the contents of the 2Gig drive contain an OS and if so which OS?

I have. It takes a *LONG* frigging time to do if you do it thorugh DOS (ie through a startup disc). The Windows version takes like 1/4th the time.

NOTE: I don't think the DOS DW can use ATA 66/100/133+, thus the slow speed.

I finally just ran the disc utilities and formatted and install XP clean. Seems to working OK. Thanks for the replies

I've copied many drives using Maxblast [Maxtor's version of the same utility] it works very well. Most of these utilities are licensed from Micro House and are very similar.
