I suspect you computer will take up to a 137 gig H/D. One way to copy the
entire hard drive is to install the second (new) drive as a secondary & when
the computer boots up &recognizes it do an xcopy32 from the old to the new.
the command is xcopy32 /c/h/e/r/k/s/y c: d: assuming your new drive is
"d" another way is to use "drive copy" which is a program you will have
to buy. If you do the xcopy32 method you will have to prepare you new H/D
with the fdisk command first & then format it. Drive copy doesn`t require
this. hope this helps. Larry
