Problem, transfer sytem to new HD??

[Kiley]

Ok, here's what I have.
XP Pro
2 physical hardrives, one 20 gig(c: and e:) and
one 30 gig (d:).
The c drive is partitioned to c: and e:
The d: drive is not partitioned.I just bought a
120 gig drive and would like to move the os and
programs on c and e to the 120 and keep d drive
intact. What is the best or easiest way to do
this? I have ghost, and can connect the 120 to the
ribbon my cd is on to format and transfer.
Any help or suggestions? Thanks much.

I use PM, not Ghost, but why not just unplug Drive 2, plug in your new one,
image Drive 1 (A & C) across, then replace Drive 1 with your new one & plug
Drive 2 back in?
I don't know what version Ghost you have & whether it can handle a drive
that size, that's the first thing I'd check.

Sorry, forgot. Plug in the new drive.
Next step - reboot to BIOS (hit Delete key on prompt) & select auto-detect
to find the second (new) drive.
