| | replace hard drive I'd like to install a larger hard drive on my PC. Windows XP installation files are apparently hidden on a non dos partition on my current drive. Is there any way to copy that partition to the new drive? I'd rather not use 2 drives. -- kp |

| | Re: replace hard drive Hi, Most drive manufacturers provide a utility for copying drive to drive, regardless of partition type or file system. Check with the manufacturer of the intended purchase, some are in the box, others downloadable from their web site. Tools like BootIT NG can do this from a bootable floppy as well. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "kp" <kp@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ECCDA6DD-934B-47D3-B77F-6570FF7622AF@xxxxxx Quote: > I'd like to install a larger hard drive on my PC.
