If you want to copy files rather than keep the HD like MNL suggested, try Drive Copy. . .pretty easy to do. . .Or. . .if you really like to play. . .get out the DOS books and write your own little batch file. . . http://www.powerquest.com/drivecopy/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "andy" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 10:45 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- I Want To Try Something A Little Different!! Well, something I've never had need to do before, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there have ;-) Currently I have two hard drives in my PC- an 8gb one with my o/s and most of my apps on (Which is rapidly filling) and a 20gb one with three separate partitions, each one for something different. As I'm doing more and more video editing asnd music editing, I find I quickly run out of space (With 28gb..who'd have ever thought it, eh??). So, on Saturday I bought myself an 80gb monster to replace the 8gb one. What I need to do know is transfer the o/s and all the apps across to the new drive..so the question is, what is the best, most hassle free. way of doing this? I don't really want to start with a clean install of Windows because I have so much already loaded, it would take me a week to get it back to how I want it Cheers Andy To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
