Does anyone know how to move winxp to new harddrive with
all the programs and settings. My initial win partition
was 10 gig and it is almost full so i can't use ghost. I
just want to transfer all the data if possible. I would
appreciate any help. Thanks

If you buy a Maxtor or Western Digital you will get software that will
transfer all files to the new hard drive. Maxtor has a real nice one
MaxBlast. However, you will need to set the drives up with master/slave to
do this.

Not necessary to have them as master and slave on the same IDE
channel. Works just as well if one is the master drive on the primary
IDE and the other is the master drive on the secondary IDE, especially
for a temporary installation just to do the copying.

That avoids all possible complications with jumper settings and also
the possibility, admittedly remote, that the two drives will not work
well together when connected as master and slave on the same channel.
