DRIVE IMAGING or "CLONING" of a healthy drive |
Is your computer perfectly healthy and working fine, but you simply want to upgrade to a new and larger system C drive?
Do you want to create a safety backup clone of your hard drive?
This can be useful for quick recovery from virus infection or other system failure.
Are you about to make software changes to your computer that you fear may cause damage to the system?
- Use drive imaging or "cloning" method to create an exact copy of everything from your system "C" drive (or other non-RAID drive) onto a new hard drive.
- Your computer will run just as it used to, but with the new or larger hard drive.
- Includes error check of destination hard drive (if it is not a new hard drive).

NOTE: This price does not apply if your source (current) hard drive is unhealthy (example: won't boot, infected with virus, damaged hard drive circuit board, etc). PCR can perform "data recovery" from an unhealthy drive if desired. Also note that everything on the destination hard drive will be erased over. If you just bought a new computer and you want to "migrate" old data off of your old computer to your new computer, you instead need to migrate your data.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your computer should be perfectly healthy before choosing the "cloning" method. If you are upgrading to a larger drive you should consider instead completely reinstalling Windows, all of your needed programs, and your personal documents, files, emails and settings instead. Why? Over time a computer can become sluggish due to constant changes to the registry, damage left behind by viruses, etc. If you choose the cloning method, any problems that exist on your computer now will continue to exist on the new hard drive.
Data corruption can preexist and loss can occur before, during, or after file transfer. Data may be corrupted and unrecoverable if it was or is written to corrupted sectors.
Protecting your data is priority one. PCR will always make a good faith effort to protect your data. However Palisades Computer Repair nor it’s repair tech will be legally liable for any data lost. Customer is fully responsible to backup any important data.
