Copying XP from 1 hard drive to another

[ROJAS]

Can you use Drive copy or Drive image and copy a Win Xp hard drive (40gb) to a newer "80gb". Is there something you have to install. It looks like I can't copy a hard drive which has Win Xp to another. You don't have to reinstall Win Xp all over aagain./

Does this have to do with a security issue or adminstrator thing.

Please help again,

Ever hear of "File And Transfer Settings"?? Betcha that would do the trick. Or even better, see if you're computer can have dual hard drives and use them BOTH. Thats 120 GB of space right there

I have already done this job to my pc. From a 30 Gbyte drive to another one 60 Gbyte using Norton Ghost.
No problem.

Just hook up your new 80 G hd as slave to your current system setting

either us HD drive image or Ghost (my preference)

to clone/image etc..
then do what ever you want after..

In my opinion you will be happier if you just set it as a slave and keep on going. If you can`t just do a clean install and then you will know ALL is correct. Although you can do either one of the above and it will work, it is just that a fresh start helps alot of times.
If the os is operating fine, then set the new drive to slave and 10 minutes later you are through

hi rojas, why not just connect the 80gb as your slave and keep it as your backup hdd....
wouldn't it be much easier??
