Copy my Windows to other hard disk

[Mozilla]

Hey guys!
I have been using my 160GB SATA hard disk for a quite long time. I have purchased a new hard disk with 500GB storage. Now i want to use my older hard disk on other machine and use the current system setting and everything as it is in the new hard disk [only C:\ drive]. Is it possible to use any hard disk cloning software. can i get a free hard disk cloning software.
Help guys!

Hey!
Why dont you use PING?? No! You getting me wrong Its not the dos network utility... Just read On :

What is PING?

PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent Linux From Scratch (LFS) documentation. It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated into a PXE / RIS environment.

Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It sounds like Symantec Ghost, but has even better features, and is totally free.

Features include:

• Probably the best available Linux toolbox for rescuing a system;
• Backup and Restore partitions or files locally or to the network (MS Network Shared directory, NFS, FTP or SSHFS);
• Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
• Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE / RIS environment;
• Possibility to Blank local admin's password;
• Create your own restoration bootable DVD (see the Howto Documentation);
• Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the right partition)

Advantages over DOS and Ghost :

• Most network cards automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS)
• Most CD/DVD readers automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS)
• You don't have to run a Ghostcast server to receive images over the network
• More supported filesystems
• You can store an image on several CD/DVD (CD/DVD-spanning)
• You can backup and restore BIOS settings too
• Much much smaller than WinPE / BartPE
