How do I clone...

Thread needs solution

I just got True Image 2011 today - haven't installed it on a machine. My son's machine has a failing hard drive. I have installed a new hard disk as the secondary hard drive, and I wish to clone this new hard disk so I can use it to replace the failing one. My son's machine has a DVD drive that will only read DVDs. WinXPH.

Now, how should I proceed? After reading various threads here I quite confused.

If you have a USB Disk, simply create a disk and partition backup of all the partitions on the failing disk. Store that backup on the USB disk.

Create a recovery DVD, or use a flash drive to create the recovery medium on it.

Then remove the hard drive and place the new drive at the same spot.

Boot the computer on the DVD/flash drive, restore the entire disk on the new disk.
