Thats easy to do,install new drive on same IDE cable,set as slave,format
the drive with a primary partition,once formated,go to run,type:
XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r D: being the new hd,although if asigned a
diffrent
letter replace it in text cmd.Once it starts,agree to all in the DOS
window,once
its thru,its completed,shutdown computer,set drives as youd like them,reset
jumper pins.Once D: is master,you should format the old C: drive.
