This demo version only allows copying from one hard drive to another of similar size. It doesn't support Partition Enlargement, FAT16 to FAT32 conversion, and hard drives larger than 16 GB.
Hard Drive Upgrader simplifies the process of upgrading to a new hard drive by duplicating the entire contents of your existing drive to the new one. The program does not require you to fdisk or format the new hard drive. Instead, it creates partitions as necessary and moves your OS and program files intact. Even your drive letters stay the same. This demo version allows you to duplicate to a hard drive of the same size only; the registered version allows duplication to a smaller or larger drive, and features partition resizing. Read the 'user.txt' file for usage instructions.

Summary
This program is very easy to use. This version doesn't seem to allow copying to a larger drive though. I'm going to get the full version as soon as I can.

Summary
Was trying to copy one drive to the other, both identical. The source drive does not use partitions and has a custom format. Upgrader gave me the error message "no partition found". this shouldn't have mattered since it's a sector for sector copier.

Summary
I needed to clone a 70GB SCSI drive containing Windows 2000 with NTFS. Most free-trial programs wouldn't work. Needing a DOS boot floppy is a minor annoyance, but the most flexible programs do, and since you *should* have one around for disaster recovery anyway, it's just an extra step to copy a floppy to run the program. Simple text interface, detailed documentation, and if it doesn't recognize the disk format (fat-16/32) it will just do a sector-by-sector copy. Free trial will not resize, but that is all I needed was to clone a failing drive to an identical replacement.
