New Hard drive

[Guest]

I want to install a new hard drive, but I do not have drivers for mother
board, the old hard drive is working, I just want a larger drive and I want
to remove the existing drive as it is old, slow and I am worried about a
crash .
I have Win 2000 0n existing drive and would like to duplicate that drive
completely, and then rmove old drive and use new drive with same drivers.
Or can anyone tell me how to find drivers for existing motherboard??

Google is your friend... but only if you have the brand/model

If the company still exists, you should be able to find a site
with downloads, by model

For instance, here is the Intel site

-- What brand/type of motherboard?
-- How old is it, i.e. BIOS date?
-- Did you try to connect the new drive , maybe the BIOS will find it!

Or can anyone tell me how to find drivers for existing motherboard??

-- Via website of drive manufacturer?
-- Need to update BIOS maybe?

Wht don't you just use Ghost (or similar) to transfer the system across
to the new drive?
