Program to mirror drive?

[topslop1]

I have 2 drives installed on the computer; and I oringally had Windows 7 trial on my sata drive and all was well. I just installed Windows 7 retail onto my IDE drive and its running super slow. Is there any way that I can mirror the contents of this drive over to the other drive and then boot from that sata again instead of this crappy IDE?

Is there a decent program that'll format and mirror ?

Thanks guys

I think you mean "Cloning", not mirroring.

Seagate/Maxtor and Western Digital both offer free, though a bit stripped down, versions of Acronis True Image which can easily clone your IDE drive onto that SATA drive.

Clonezilla also is an excellent utility to do this sort of thing - cloned a 320GB SATA I drive to a 500GB SATA II drive this past weekend with Clonezilla, took maybe 25 minutes. Windows 7 allows you to easily expand the partition out to the full size of the drive as well in Disk Management.

Ghost will even do that for you (resizing partitions etc., even while respecting alignment) but it's not free... CloneZilla or DriveImage XML would both work tho and they are free.
