New Hard Drive & Windows XP

[Guest]

New Hard Drive, I am installing a larger hard drive on my computer, I want to
use my existing version and serial # of Windows XP Pro that is on my smaller
drive. I do have a 5 user license and don't want to buy new software. How do
I format, install windows, and copy all of my settings onto the new drive
without expense? I have looked at GHOST, PC RELOCATOR, etc., but they don't
say anything about copying all my existing Windows data.

The above link will show you how to clean install XP. You can use the
Windows File and Settings Transfer Wizard to move your stuff to the new
drive. Check the driver disk that came with your new drive as these will
frequently have utilities to do this for you.

Hi,

Ghost has an option to clone your old hard drive on to your new one. You
can probably also find free software that does this on your drive makers
site.
