Pc restore by symantec

Hi, I have a dell inspiron 9300 with its regular hard drive which came with the pc restore by symantec and another hard drive that I bought from dell directly. On that hard drive that didnt came with the notebook installed I would like to do a pc restore by symantec, but it does not have it since it was bought seperately using dell.com. Anyway to get it on there? Or any other software available? Thanks, Mike.

    Clone means to copy one drive to another, an exact copy. In other owrds if you cloned the old drive to the New one, you could put the new cloned drive in place of the old one and it would boot up and function and be exactly like the old drive, all your partitions and data are intact.
     
    This is what I use

    The easy way is to clone the old drive to the new one.

    Hi, but that requires connecting a new hard drive or something like that. I tried it, but it didnt detect no other hard drive onboard or connection. Any other help? Thanks, Mike.
