Well.... I'm thinking about cloning my Win7 DAW hard drive to a larger capacity SATA drive. So....I did some research (freeware cloning apps) today and downloaded this free cloning app that does have good reviews for my straight forward cloning purpose. http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspxA few years ago (with Win7) many were having issues in that the target drive that was cloned now became designated at NOT a genuine Windows copy. I presume that issue has been resolved by now but don't know if others are still experiencing the problem? I wallow in ignorance and terrified I'll screw something up in the process. Any recommendations/suggestions/issues/pitfalls/tips for a coward like myself will be appreciated?Thanks in advance....

If you haven't done your cloning yet, I can vouch for EASUS cloning and partitioning products. Their clone software worked better for me than the Acronis software that came with the hard drive I bought. Acronis would hang up when it encountered a bad sector on the source drive. I was cloning to replace a drive that was going south with a larger drive. It's freeware for home use www.easeus.com

I'm still trying to truly grasp the difference between the usage if a Disk Image vs Cloned. When I have success I'll followup here. Thanks for chiming in.....

You need to scan your disk for errors before cloning if it is getting errors while cloning. Right click Drive, Properties, Tools, Check Now, reboot.
An image is just saved to another hard drive as a file "my hard drive.img" if you clone it to another drive you can boot it or plug it in to a usb and access all your files.

(Snip) I'm still trying to truly grasp the difference between the usage if a Disk Image vs Cloned. (Snip) There is an excellent article from PC World ++ HERE ++. As Pipeline answered, disk image is all of a hard drive gathered into one file. The file is not usable on its own. A program would have to break the disc image back into its component files and folders and install the components onto a hard drive. Cloning copies everything between two drives.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
