Change drives,as in you have a new,larger drive to replace C: with
and you'd like to use that drive w/o loosing everything....Set new hd
as slave to C: on same IDE chain,in xp format the hd with a primary
partition,once thru,go to run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r Agree
to all in the DOS window,once its thru,youre finished,C: is now on
new.Also,D: being new drive,but if asigned diffrent letter,then use
that letter instead.

Have you ever successfully transferred XP to a new hard drive using your
method? I highly doubt it. XXCOPY might work, but your method does not work
with XP.
Hard drive manufacturers include software to accomplish the transfer of a
working system to a new hard drive; either with included disks or from the
manufacturers web site downloads page.
You can also use third party shareware and retail imaging/cloning
applications.
