Upgrade To Larger Disk

I have a dual system of a 98 and XP-2 system on a small hard drive. I am not sure which software would copy all informations to the larger one so I can remove the small one. I will used this a basic back up drive.


Any help would be greatful.

    I am sure with new drives you can get a cd that will take over the data. I think that is with maxtor & seagateas long as the old drive is the same company.
    Or you could use norton ghost but havn't used it for so long.
    I wouldbe tempted to get a larger drive and partition it. reinstall both systems, one in each partition and take it from there.
    You can then put in your old drve as a secondry and transfer all your files. I wouldn't rely on the old drive to store data and even for bacup but it can be set with a fat paging file for the os's
    Nudge nudge, Wink wink, Say No More!
