Upgrade harddrive

[chi Tran]

Hi,
I want to upgrade my Windows 2000 server hard drive, and
I want to know if anyone of a way where I can mirroring
virtual all the setting, except for the partitioning size,
on the current hard over to the new hard drive.

I have been looking into Norton Ghost, however, I did not
hear it mention about Windows 2000 Server.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciate.

Ghost is a perfect choice (unless it's dynamic... then not completely sure)
Just use the Boot disk to clone the older smaller drive right over to the
newer & bigger,
swap it out... and your done!

Run a chkdsk first on the old drive... and if you want to be really careful,
use Ghost's "Verify Drive" option before hand.

Supposedly new drives ship with tools to do this on diskette or CD... but
I've never used them.

If Ghost won't touch your server then Acronis Partition Expert will.
