Transfer everything to my new drive without losing any settings?


QUESTION
I have a 512MB U3 Mini TravelDrive and I just bought a larger one (2GB). How do I transfer everything to my new drive without losing any settings?

ANSWER
Use Disk Hero to back up all your DATA and programs (all but launch pad) on your 512MB.

Then put in the new 2GB drive into the USB port and load Disk Hero and when asked for a USER NAME and PASSWORD use the same one you have for your 512MB key - enter your information into the 3rd option on the registration page then hit continue.  On the 2nd screen enter into the text area a new name for this 2GB drive - someone like "2GB San Disk". Finish the wizard questions and when the main Disk Hero application starts (you might have to start it from the launch pad) look to the right side window just above the right side widow is a pull-down list of accounts.  Pick your old account and your files will show.  Check the folders and files that you want to retrieve and then press the blue icon in the middle of the two windows called RETRIEVE DATA NOW and retrieve the files to a specific location.

You should be good to go now.
