Hi
Could anyone tell me how to transfer all data from
my old hard drive 40Gb to my new hard drive 80Gb?
Many thanks
 
You could just install the 40gb drive as a slave temporarily in your pc if
you allready have windows setup on the 80gb drive. If you have no OS on the
80Gb drive then you will need a peice of software like Ghost (norton) or
Drive Image Pro, that will image the old drive onto the new one so you can
just put it in and boot from it.

Hope that helps

Your new drive should have come with a utilities floppy or CD. One of
the utilities will do a copy from the old drive to the new drive. If
you didn't get a disk with it go to the drive manufacturer's web site
and download the utility.

What I use is BootIT NG, from http://www.BootitNG.com ($35 shareware -
30 day full functional trial)

Download, to its own folder, extract from the zip, run the bootitng to
make a boot floppy.

With the new drive plugged in as slave/secondary, boot the floppy,
Cancel Install, entering maintenance, then click on Partition work.
Highlight your C:,Copy, then on left select the new drive (HD1),
highlight the Free Space in it, and Paste.

You might then consider a resize up a bit. Or leave some free space so
as later to make a new separate partition it

Now click on 'View MBR' and in it highlight the entry for this new C
partition and click the 'Set Active' Click 'Write Standard MBR' and
Apply.

Close out, swap the disks to make the new one the one that boots, and
reboot into XP.
