Hey guys I recently bought the Samsung 840 pro, and was hopping to use the bundled software to clone my drive, sadly Samsung in their wisdom have decided to ship me a blank CD, so i thought hey no problem, I'll just download Norton-G from their site.. no keycode .. oh wheres the keycode somewhere in my pack ? ... no on the CD.. the blank CD

so has anyone got any good alternative solutions, I'd prefer not to use Norton anything, if it can be helped

my second option is of course to just re-install, but i had that planned along side a larger upgrade early 2013

You can download a trial version of Acronis True Image from their website.

Preferably you use the Boot Media Creator to create a bootable USB drive with True Image on it.

Also, when cloning make sure you do NOT copy the disk sector by sector.

If your other HDD is a seagate download their free Discwizard that is Acronis

Clonezilla is totally free and works well off a boot CD (just to throw another option into the mix

)

Yeah... I used Clonezilla for my work lappy after I got fed up with waiting for spindle drives to DO something
