My harddisk is almost full (130GB, 50 000 files). I need to duplicate the data to a new harddisk (250GB or 320GB). The data are all company documents or scanned images. They are either doc, pdf, bmp or jpeg files, archived over 5+ years.
I want to know what is the safest way(without error or losing any bit of data) to duplicate the partition, or just copy and paste in Windows XP is okay.
I have norton ghost2003 and partitionmagic 8.0 installed on my system, so the quickest way should be partition cloning in ghost2003.
Also is there any software (free/trial-ware preferred) that can check the integrity of the duplicated data (by comparing with the original data bit by bit)?
