Default Installing XP to new hard drive?


I upgraded to a 120 GB hard drive, what's the easiest way
to make my 30 GB my slave and transfer all my files to new
drive and make the Master?

Easiest way?

Symantec Ghost or Symantec Drive Image does the job very nicely. But they
cost money.

Usually each new HDD comes with a utility that will also do the job, but it
will take A LOT longer to do with the supplied utility. Good news is there
is no extra charge for this.

Take this opportunity to do a completely new install.. disconnect printers
et al, reinstall XP, install SP2, then anything else that you have..
