Hard Drive
-----Original Message----- I just installed a second Hard Drive and when I tried to copy 'DRIVE TO DRIVE' data, It copied right down to the last minute and stopped copying with a message WinXP.bin... I intend to make this new Drive my 'BOOT' Drive and remove the old drive. . dude look all u gotta do is do this in MS-DOS, ie. use a boot up cd and copy from drive to drive the reason it is giving u that error is cause XP is using that file so it cannot copy plus it will copy faster in MS-DOS don't use the XP CD use a later copy of a windows OS like 98 95 or ME even 2000 will work i think or if u have a floppy boot up disc use that ok good luck peace bro |

The hard drive will be invisible to MS-DOS or Windows versions older than Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3. You will get "Invalid drive specification" errors. The C: drive would be the next recognized drive which could be a RAM drive or the CD-ROM drive depending upon how your config.sys and autoexec.bat files are constructed. -- Earl F. Parrish |
