Post subject: replace hard drive Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>hardware_devices (more info?)
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.

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.
