I've had this particular hard drive for about four years now, it's SATA and I think it's a 300MB/s transfer rate one, pretty sure. One day about three years ago I was doing some upgrade to another part, think it was ram and I accidentally broke the connector to the hard drive with the cable in it. Luckily I managed to super glue the thing together and it worked...sort of. Occasionally, now, it'll hang or I'll get a BSOD, or when I turn the PC on it wont immediately work (as in, internet/programs dont work but the desktop shows up) but after a couple of restarts it'll start up normally, especially if I lightly fiddle with the part of the cable that's glued in, a bit like Ace Ventura with his keys in the doorknob of his apartment. Morning, Mr. Shickadance! Anyway. My questions are thus:
1. If I bought a BIGGER hard drive, say a TB, can it ghost a 300 GB drive with no issues on that front?
2. Will all my licenses/registered programs work and will XP ghost without having to reinstall it? Not too worried about some of this but just wanted to ask. Time saving mostly, and my internet connection isn't super fast so it would take a while for some of the stuff to DL.
3. Is Norton Ghost the best program to do this with? Was gonna get that one but if there's a more comprehensive one I'd be game.
Anyway thanks for your time.
