[Lewis Central Titan]

I installed windows vista on a 10 gig hd and now i just went out and bought a raid card and a 160 gig hd i want to mirror vista to the 160 gig and format the 10, i dont want to reinstall it because my dad got it from his work and they said it would activate only three times... I want to save the last two just incase i want to get a new pc or mine crashes or something... im also a computer tech so i dont care if you use tech terms... i already know where dos is and registry and stuff just if i have to download something please give me a websight that i can download it directly...

Why not just keep it as it is and use the 160 GB for space? If you are a tech then you know that it is best if you keep Windows on a separate partition then the rest of your stuff.

As far as activation is concerned, you were misinformed. There is no limit to how many times you can activate Windows.According to the Microsoft.com website,

"Windows can be activated any number of times, but your re-activation experience will vary based on the way you acquired Windows.

* If you acquired Windows Vista via retail purchase (boxed product), you may activate via the Internet the first five times. Subsequent activations are allowed but must be completed via telephone.
* If you acquire Windows Vista pre-installed on a computer, re-installation would not require additional activation steps unless significant hardware changes were made."

So, you see, that is not an issue.

But, since you asked, you shall receive. This looks like a convincing free software that should do the trick. I found it by doing a search on the Y! toolbar. It is called HDClone. Take a look, I really don't think you will find too much more since you need it to be free.
