Have Win XP Home. Main boot HD 8GB (C:\) is jammed up.
Have slave 80GB drive with lots of room. Want to swap
out main 8GB for larger drive. Is there a simple way to
mirror my existing drive to the 80 GB and reload onto
new drive? I see no help in windows support for this. Maybe
I am asking the wrong question.
 
If the drive is still working(jammed up can mean many thing)
You can create a bootable partion on that 80 gb drive and then use a program
like Acronis True Image to clone that 8gb drive to that partition.
Or you could just swap the 2 drives on the cable making the 80gb IDE master
and install XP onto that.Using the 8gb as the slave drive all you would then
need to do is delete XP off it.
