EzMigration
Copy Your Boot Drive to a New Hard Disk in Minutes, No Hassles
No lie, it was only a few years ago when I heard that my mother-in-law, who is a software developer, had just purchased a 1Gb hard drive. I thought the concept was ludicrous. I actually said at the time, "What on earth would anyone ever need a gigabyte of storage for?"
Fast forward to now. As it turns out, my mother-in-law just happened to be very forward-thinking back then, but by today's standards that 1Gb drive wouldn't go very far. Today, I regularly extract video and other media to my hard drive that takes up anywhere from 2Gb to 4Gb per file. PC game installations tip the scales at 4Gb or more, and that's before you factor in any expansion packs.
Storage is pretty cheap now compared to back in the day. As a result, folks are happily filling up their disks knowing that they can always buy a bigger drive when they run out of room.
But here's the problem - if you want to migrate your operating system and applications to a larger drive, you can just go willy nilly copying files from one drive to the other. It just don't work that way!
Sure, it'll look like everything is there, but when you try to turn on your computer, it's just not going to boot. No boot partition. Plus, there's no guarantee that your applications will run correctly.
You have two options. You can copy the boot partition and then dig around in your closet and get every single installation disk for every single one of your applications and spend a nice weekend or two reinstalling everything. Or, you can get yourself a copy of EzMigration Drive Migration Software and get 'er done in minutes.
EzMigration moves the contents of your old hard drive as an image, and creates an exact clone of your drive on the new, larger disk. The app migrates all of your applications and preferences, and, most importantly, your boot partition - so your new drive will boot exactly as your old one did. As the icing on the cake, EzMigration helps you to resize your active partition, ensuring that every bit of your new drive space is available to you.
Life's too short to waste your time manually moving files, reinstalling applications, and resizing partitions. EzMigration gets you up and running with your new drive quickly and easily.
