Publisher's Description
From miray Software:
The Free Edition of HDClone is the ideal tool for moving or cloning contents of entire hard disks. Since it works on physical level it can be used with any operating system and any filesystem. HDClone copies the data for you. This allows you to transfer entire system installations to a newer hard disk quickly and easily (hard disk migration). It also adds the additional disk space automatically if desired. Since HDClone has its own operating system and is self-booting, it can be used even if the installed operating system is damaged. Therefore HDClone is also a great solution for data rescue on damaged hard disks or system installations. The commercial versions HDClone Basic Edition, HDClone Standard Edition, HDClone Professional Edition, and HDClone Enterprise Edition offer extended features.
What's new in this version: Version 4.1.3 adds password protected and AES-encrypted images and writable virtual drives.

one big limitation is if you dont have matching drives it will ot shrink or adapt to different sise drive.

Cons

"Works well"
Version: HDClone Free Edition 4.0.4b
Pros
I did a disk clone with this program and it was trouble free and took an hour and ten minutes, which is about par for this type of operation.
Cons
There is no help file. The program offers you several options when cloning but unless you are familiar with this type of operation you won't know what they mean.
Summary
This is a well written, easy to use program which works as advertised. The problem is that the authors presume that you are an expert. There is no help file so that, unless you are an expert, you will not be able to take advantage of all the options which are offered. Also, you may not be able to understand all the info messages. You can still use the program, however. Just go with the defaults and skip the options.

"Slow and doesn't finish"
Version: HDClone Free Edition 4.0.4b
Pros
Free, installs easily
Cons
Copy process taakes about 4 hrs. Then the "Media Adjustment" stage freezes the computer (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit), and never finishes. Tried twice.

Might be Windows 7 64-bit incompatible. Never could get it to finish.

"Very, very slow, didn't give a usable disk copy"
Version: HDClone Free Edition 4.0.3
Pros
Downloads and appears to run OK
Cons
Glacially slow - almost 24 hours to copy 37GB. The result: unusable disk with nothing on it... while it appeared to be copying data the whole time. Prompts you to buy the pay version w/error checking and runs faster. How about letting people know the
Summary
Didn't work for me, wasted a lot of time. Maybe your luck will be better.

Cons
None at all.
Summary
I cloned an old 32 gig ide drive to a new 250 gig sata drive without a hitch. It didn't take long to complete.
