Thank you.
I have a new Dell 5160 and would like to clone the included 20Gb drive to a 60gb drive with xp home.
I have :
1) another XP computer
2)a usb2.0 2.5" box which works fine
3)Partition magic 84)Drive image 7
5)a reasonable technical background.
____________________
Partial Success:
I partitioned the 60GB drive to 2 main active NTFS partitions, c (17gb) and D (40 gb). I copied all the files directly from the Dell c drive to new C. It booted fine and windows installed.
I was able to copy the files from the Dell utility drive (31.2Mb) and the Dell restore drive (3gb) to hidden partitions I created using Drive image.
________
The problem is as follows:
1)Partition magic shows the restore drive as concurrent DOS/Cmos and I have no idea how to do this so it is bootable using F12
2)Same deal for the dell utility drive.
________
Should be a snap if you what you are doing, but I don't. Any ideas vastly appreciated.
