I had five mini towers given to me minus the OS. They are perfect for timing computers and have all the requisite ports (USB/Parallel/Serial/Network) I installed the OS, firefox, and Office software (Libre Office). Did all the updates. Hours later it was done. I had five machines but now I have four. The first two took so long I decided it might be faster to clone the HD. Since they were DELLS, they did not ask for a serial number - there is one on each machine. The third machine had its HD cloned in just 15 minutes and it works. Machines 4 and 5 will be done in the AM.

OK, not everyone has 5 identical computers. Are there any other uses?

1) I had a HD that was going bad and so I cloned it. Voila! A bigger, faster, and more reliable HD.
2) I can clone a drive instead of backing it up. I usually do this every couple of weeks.

The miracle program and its cost?

Cost first: FREE
Program: Macrium Reflect (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx)

I have cloned XP Professional and Windows 7 Home Premium with it.

My antivirus and anti spyware shows nothing malicious with it.
