Like the subject says, I'm looking for the best software to copy my old 8 gig harddrive to a new 20 gig. Any suggestions?

I was hoping someone would say Ghost, since I have it, but I never knew if it was good or not. Worked great, thanks.

I doubt a simple copy command could do what I wanted, especially since I need the MBR and I'm using NTFS
 .But Ghost worked great, thanks all! |
