Also.  Even though the page references a "transfer cable", I stored the
image to an external USB disk.  You could probably store to a 2nd data
volume on the sick system (as that would be fast transfer rate than USB 2
even most likely).

To be more to the point you were asking about :-), this is what you seek I
think:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/easy-transfer.aspx

 

for Windows Vista+

 

This works too BUT you can clone the disk with dd_rescue and save the
hassle of resinstalling and restoring the backup image the above tool
creates.  The cloned disk with dd_rescue clones Boot track and all.  It
should boot right up as if it were the original sick disk.  It's up to
you.  :-)

I would like to trash it, but not an option.  The disk drive is sick and I
am putting another drive on order.
Does anyone have experience using VISTA Ultimate features that is supposed
to allow moving the system to a new drive?

You can also do this with Fedora 8+ LiveCD but you have to be attached to
the Internet and do a 'yum install dd_rescue' first to install the
utility.

Oh yeah, once you clone to the new disk, if that new disk is larger, Disk
Management should allow you to expand the NTFS volume out to the full size
of the new disk.

Why not boot knoppix linux LiveCD with the sick disk and a new disk (same
size or larger) and then use the dd_rescue util (under Knoppix) to clone
the sick disk to the new disk.  Use the -A option to work past bad spots
(with zero-fill in the respective target sectors on the new disk - you
will have to chkdsk /r c: afterwards - you should do this anyways).

 

This works as I have done with my vista ultimate more than once when
playing with upgrade options for win7 ultimate RC.

Yes, the GoDaddy certs are chained. I have setup several sites with
the GoDaddy certs and haven't received a complaint yet... Including
one local site that has a few thousand active users.

I think that with a coupon I got that certificate for $12.99 for one
year.

I've also used RapidSSL's wildcard certificates before. I have no
complaints with their service either, no trouble at all.

I had forgotten about them!  They claim single root which I like as I have
read that GoDaddy’s are chained.  But, the question is will the GoDaddy at
less than ½ the RapidSSL cost of $70/yr work just as well in practice?

I've been using RapidSSL for several years and have no complaints.  Even
when I've screwed up the certificate generation, they have been pretty
good about helping out.
