Why should we clone disk?

As we know, computers develop at so fast. A few years ago, the disk size of computer we bought is 80GB, which was a large disk at that time. But now, 80GB can not meet the needs in holding increasing data. Right now, we have to upgrade our computer disk But disks contain mass data and applications, the software on the 80GB disk fails to operate if you simply copy data onto the new disk. How can we solve this problem? You need only clone the 80GB disk. Clone it onto the new purchased hard disk. Suppose we buy a 400GB hard disk, copy the disk with the software and use the new disk as system disk to reboot. It keeps your data complete in such way. What is more, you don't have to reinstall system and relative software. You not only have all as before with the 400GB booted system but also enjoy a bigger disk size

What tool do we usually use to clone disk?

At present, we usually use Norton Ghost to clone disk. This software has long been spread and popular with people. It is almost known to everyone. When referring to a tool to clone your disk or system, certainly most people will tell you Norton Ghost is an option. Here, its worth noting that, especially for server system users, while using Norton Ghost backups data or clone, it compress data of disk or partition. All this makes the data different from the original partition data. If you want to restore the backup image file onto the disk, your backup data will be a waste in the event of change of disk or hardware or the accident damage of backup image file. Due to the encrypted and compressed disk or partition data cloned by Norton Ghost, the operating system is not able to read the data properly. The result is that you must restore system in the backup way or environment as before, or else, everything is lost.
