    Re: What is Hard Disk Drive Cloning- How to clone HDD ?

    It is simply creating exact image of one hard drive into other.

    I did same recently when I bought a new 500GB hdd and instead of installing software again on it, I created exact image of old HDD on new one. This is very common practice, software vendor do it almost daily.
    You can use GHOST (a software ) to do this. However, there are some free software also like DriveImage XML fro windows computer etc.

    In linux you can use dd command using live CD to do that.
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdy
    if for input HDD and of for output HDD path.
