View Full Version : Moving XP to a different drive

I am trying to migrate to Windows XP Home from 98 SE. Because I wanted
to be able to dual boot between XP and 98 I did a clean install on the
second partition on another drive (logical drive M:).

Since I am running low on drive space, I want to buy a new drive that is
bigger than the two I now use and format it with a fat32 primary
partition for Windows 98 and a few ntfs partitions for Windows XP.

Is there an easy way to move my Windows XP installation to the D:
logical drive on the new drive? Thank you in advance for all replies.

I just heard a TV commercial about an automobile that has a rear
entertainment system. I immediately wondered exactly how would an
automobile entertain one's rear and would it be safe to drive while
one's rear was being entertained.

Have the second hd set as slave on the same IDE chain with C:,go to
run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/r Then press enter or run.Agree to all
in the DOS window.When its thru,shutdown,reset jumper pins,Remember
though xp doesnt copy very well by design,if the drive wont boot-up etc.,
install xp cd,boot to cd,install xp,select,repair this copy of xp.
