Pre-amble: I know Google knows. Far too many answers probably and merit of each subject to research. And I'm sure this has been raised here N times. Asking seems sure (and easier for me - ssssh) and in these death-of-XP days there may be new better brighter answers. So - Question: I have an XP PC with a failing hard drive. The PC is doing well as is and I don't want to change to WIN7 et al, Linux no matter how spiffing or open-XP-whatever-it-is. (Not yet anyway). I just want it to continue as before - and so does my wife as it's what she uses at home and is happy with. What are the suggested options for preferably free, preferably easy cloning of a whole XP drive to a newer larger one that does not fall over occasionally with minimal disruption to life?
