I have used the free products from both EASEUS and Paragon (EASEUS Drive Copy, Paragon Drive Copy, EASEUS Partition Master, Paragon Partition Manager, etc.) in cloning Windows 2000, XPPro, and Windows 7 boot partitions. There are collections of smaller, specific tools (e.g., XXCLONE with TestDisk) which together can accomplish the same job, but either EASEUS or Paragon can do the whole job simply and easily. The two free Acronis versions are for Seagate and Western Digital drives; they can work if either the source or target drive is one of the two supported brands Seagate or WD. But sometimes these have proved problematic for me. I have never had a clone failure with either EASEUS or Paragon. Good luck. max danger
