Added a HD, how do I move XP to the new HD

Guest

My HD configuration has an 80G EIDE partitioned in C: and E:, and an 120G
EIDE with a single D: partition. My BOOT is D:, and my SYSTEM is C:. I have a
dual boot to either 98SE or XP Pro.

I've added a SATA 240G and want to move XP to that higher perforance bigger
HD. How do I proceed? I do not need dual boot any longer. I would really like
to lose the 80G to free up an EIDE channel.

the best way to do this would be to create an IMAGE of your PC using a third
party software such as Norton Ghost. An exact copy can be uploaded from your
D: to your other logical drive. Then copy this image back onto the new drive.

Not sure if Microsoft would approve of me telling you that but it is the way
IT proffesionals would do it in the industry. Its quick and easy. Dont forget
to make the new HDD the Primary (Active) Drive ;-)

I hope this helps.
