Acronis True Image 11 Home
Whenever I visit my parents place, I love to be as a PC repair guy. What I'd done are introducing wifi network (actually, it's for me myself), adding more RAM into my father's pc, installing skype and more and more.
This time the issue was that my father's pc was running terribly slow. It's a Toshiba dynabook A8/420CME: Celeron 2GHz, 768MB RAM. To run Windows XP, it's not that bad spec. But it's a 2003 model so that hard disk drives was old enough to get sucked.
After some googling, I've found a hard disk drive cloning software: Acronis True Image 11 Home. It allows to create a bootable CD and clone an internal disk to an external USB disk. Fortunatelly, I just bought a 2.5 inch hard disk drive enclosure so that I made the bootable cdrom, connected a new 2.5 hdd and started cloning disk at midnight. Next morning, only thing I had to do was replacing the cloned disk to the internal disk. Viora!!
I know there're couple of ways to do the same thing without paying any money. But it's a too much hustle while my whole family is having peaceful new year holidays. So, next time when you visit your dad and mom house, don't forget to bring a USB disk enclosure and this useful CD.
