New drive

[Johnny]

Hello,
I intalled a new hard drive and would like to 'copy' my
existing 'c' drive to it and make it the system drive.
Will copying the files (including hidden and sysem) work
in windows?
Thank you.

You'll really have to use some partitioning software like Partition Magic to
make this work: just copying files will not suffice.
