I could use some input from the experts out there who use BootIT NG.
I downloaded the most recent trial version, and created a boot floppy.
I can start up BootIT from the floppy, view partitions and so forth
without any problems.
I currently have a 14 GB hard disk with my Win XP installation (NTFS)
and applications on it. This disk is the primary IDE master device,
C:.
I have a new 120 GB drive, formatted NTFS (fully format, not fast
format) with one giant 120 GB primary partition. It attached as the
slave device on the save IDE cable as the C: drive.
All I want to do it use BootIT to copy my primary partition from the
smaller drive to the larger drive. So, I boot up into BootIT, and
select the existing WinXP partition and click Copy.
BootIT then shows something to the effect of *Copy pending* at the
bottom of the screen.
Then, I switch to the second drive (using the selection button in the
left-hand pane), and select the new 120 GB partition.
But, the Paste button will not activate. It's still greyed out. So,
I just can't get this program to copy the partition. If I select
Image instead, then it will allow me to Paste to the new drive.
How do I get BootIT to make a copy?
