I need to ghost a few hard disk drives here onto new drives that are larger. Family and personal. I was wondering what some new possibly free software was. If its not free, still if you could post it I would like to get an idea of what to use nowadays.
 
Can I install this program on one pc, then move the boot drives to the pc with the software installed and backup those drives properly? Ie. when I restore the image to a new drive, will it be bootable or not?
 
yup it will work just fine the drive you are cloning/imaging doesn't have to be the system drive
 
DriveImage XML is free, will get the job done accordingly.

If you own a Seagate or a Maxtor hard drive, the software from Seagate/Maxtor (same company now) has a stripped down but still very useful version of Acronis True Image for drive imaging duties.

Ah sounds great, actually all the drives I'm replacing are maxtor and the replacements are seagates, go figure.
