Placing New H/Drive

[lancer22]

I've decided it,s time for a new H/Drive.
Have a 20 gig 5400rpm & changing to a IBM 120gxp 40gig 7200rpm.
Is there anyway to swap all of whats on the old H/drive to the new one?

Norton Ghost can do the trick.

most HDD fabricators will give you a tool for doing this for free; check IBM's homepage;
of course Ghost will do this too, but it's not for free;

With two drives fitted, you can normally run "licenced with drive only" versions of software for EITHER - so if you don't like the software available for the new drive, try looking for the old.

Not sure if Disk Manager handles simple transfer tasks, as well as the tricky stuff - it says it replaces Drive Guide

This is where IBM's drives are now!

Just a hint:::I had a problem with newest ghost2003--maybe you should try 2002 or ghost corporate7.5--which people said its the best ghost...Or try acronis...

[slippery]

I prefer Acronis over Norton Ghost - too may problems with ghost and xp

it seems lancer22 wasn't able to manage it; otherwise he would say "thank you mates";

but maybe this thread will be usefull for future cases;
