Stumble It!If you’re facing the challenge of moving to a new or larger drive, you’ll be glad to know you don’t have to go it alone. Hard drive migration software can turn this irritating and time consuming chore into a quick and easy job.If you want to create a bootable drive that contains working applications, you cannot simply copy your files and folders from your old drive to the new drive. You need to either individually install each application or migrate the data on the old drive to the new one using drive migration software, such as EzMigration. Migration software is designed to transfer, or migrate, your data from your old drive to your new one all together. Migration software doesn’t copy your files and folders one by one. It creates a drive image, or image copy, of your existing drive that contains everything on the drive. Then it transfers this exact image copy as a whole to the new or larger drive for you.
The image copy created by your migration software is essentially a clone of your original drive. It contains everything on your original drive, including any drive partitions. When you clone a drive in this way, you won’t have to re-install your applications or any information you may have added, such as application or system preferences or the arrangement of your desktop. They will be exactly as they were. Your migration software will even migrate the boot partition (and any other partitions) from your old drive so your new drive will be bootable. Your new clone drive will even include all of the software updates and the hardware driver updates that you have installed over time on your computer.EzMigration drive migration software eliminates the hassle normally associated with moving to a new or larger drive because it makes the drive migration process so simple. EzMigration runs under all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista and makes copying a drive a simple drag and drop operation. So you can skip the many hours it normally takes to rebuild a drive and the days or weeks it can take until you get all your applications re-installed and running just the way you like them again. With EzMigration, all it takes is a few quick mouse clicks and you’re done.
In addition to copying your drive, EzMigration is also designed to simplify any needed partition expansion. When migration software transfers a drive image to a new drive, it creates a partition the size of the old drive on the new one. For example, if you migrate from a 40 GB drive to a 120 GB drive, you will end up with a 120 GB hard drive that contains a 40GB usable partition and 80 GB of unusable space. EzMigration makes it easy to expand that 40 GB partition into the unallocated 80 GB of unused space and gain access to all 120 GB of space on the new drive.
