    Its time to upgrade the hard drive in my girlfriends laptop, got a spare WD Scorpio Blue 500gb to put in, so I was wondering what a good free/trial program to clone all the current data on it instead of installing Windows and everything else again.

    cheers ...

    I've used EaseUS in the past and yeah it works pretty well. It does install as a startup item though, so you might want to remove it form there.
