Youre last response to XCOPY is totally not true...XCOPY works perfect with
xp,all youre current data will end up on a new hd as it is now.Also,as for
oem
utilities for hd copy,in most cases (98%),they will not work in xp due to xps
security features,older windows OS work ok with them.As for running XCOPY,
simply set youre new hd as slave to current on same IDE cable,new closest to
MB.Once in xp,format the hd (diskmgmt.msc),once thru,go to run,type:
XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r Agree to all in the DOS window.Once its
thru,youre
finished,& the new hd is ready to run.Also,D: being the new hd,if asigned
diffrent
letter,then use that letter instead.This only works with IDE hds,SATA
wont.Also,
space the cmd as shown,one after Y * & between \ /
