I'm getting worried about my hard drive (250 gig) and planning to get
a larger one (500 gig) and make it my C drive and use the old one for
storage. There is 137 gigs free on the "C" and 30 gigs free on the
partition "L" at this time.
I'm running XP MCE 2005 and have Acronis and/or Norton for the backup
so I can use the help files in these progs for the actual backup and
restore.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction to get info on the proper
step by step proceedure for this job?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Acronis will walk you through the clone process, but since you have 137gb
free why are you concerned?
The 30gb partition, who created this?
You should in any case have at least a data backup procedure in place

Is the 137 gigs free AFTER running disk cleanup and defrag?
What is taking up so much HD space?
