Q: What is the best method to clone my Dell Inspiron 530 HDD?

Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, HDClone ...

Or you could go for a virtual solution. VMWare offers tools to create a
virtual disc from a physical disc. You can then run that virtual disc using
their player or workstation software.

Q: Are there open source s/w apps. to clone the above?

Probably. But I'm not aware of any. HDClone has a free version
(http://www.miray.de/products/sat.hdclone.html). You can also run VMWare for
free.

Yes it does.

How

 

[Yves Dhondt]

There is a big difference if you intend to use the clone for backup purposes
or for mirror purposes. In the latter case, network settings might have to
be changed and new software licenses might be required.

I would use something like arcsofts imaging software. It can do bit for bit
images and has helped me a few times
