Replacing Hard Drive - on WinXP Pro 64-bit Ed.

[Guest]

Hi,
I have the exact same issue as a post that was made on 9/24 called
"Replacing Hard drive" - except my O/S is Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition. I
really didn't want to have to completely re-install everything on the new
drive.

Is there a way to copy all of the old files from the old HD over to the new
HD, keeping in mind that I'm on the 64-bit platform? I know about Norton
Ghost, but I thought that only worked with 32-bit O/S.
Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Bill

Most imaging programs can boot from a CD or DVD and clone the drive from
there. It doesn't matter what OS is on the drive because it is not loaded. I
use Acronis True Image. XP 64 bit is a supported OS.
