Well my trusty old client computer where I run all of my addons is going to die a horrible death soon. The last 3 times I have booted the computer I can hear the HD reading arm tick 4 or 5 times and after running the PC for a few hours I sense there are delays when trying to access a program.I was wondering if there was a program to image the HD so that I could swap the data onto another HD or SSD (which is better IMO) and start where I left off.Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

you can use Vista to do that:backup: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-your-programs-system-settings-and-filesand to restore, install Vista in the new drive and: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Restore-your-computer-from-a-system-image-backupIf you want to use a 3rd party software, I'd recommend Acronis True Image

Thanks Dario, I will give these ideas a try.
