Default Clone/Ghost My harddrive?

Hey guys, I just got a new Seagate barracuda 250G Sata. I want to transfer my OS to this without having to reinstall. Any suggestions, tips, pointers? What program to use? Thanks

I think a program called Acronis can do this for you.

That program worked, I just used the trail version. I used Partition Magic 8 first and now I only 232 G worth of hard drive. Anyway of freeing up small bit that was lost?

232GB is the formatted size, you always lose 7% of the drive due to formatting and the fact that they use 1000bytes = 1Kbyte, rather than 1024.

That makes sense. I thought I goofed and added a small partition where that was. Thanks for the helps guys. Now I just need to add another hard drive=)
