Hi,
I have a Compaq Presario CQ57 Laptop computer. It currently has a 250 GB hard drive. The drive is currently working and running just fine. But I would like to upgrade this computer with a new 500 GB drive.
My question:
Is there any way that I can create an image of my current drive on a CD or DVD disk and then use that to set up my new drive so that everything will be saved precisely as it currently is?
I'd like to change this drive out but I don't want to have to reinstall all my software, etc.
I'd like to be able to just replace the drive and have everything just exactly as it was before I changed the drive.
Is that possible? If so, how do I create the disk image?
Thank you.
