Transferring OS to new hard disk
I want to install a new and larger hard disk in my computer to run the OS
from. I can't clone it with Norton Ghost as I get an error that says "Could not fit translated attibutes into buffer size" I've used Drive Image 7 to clone it and make the disk active, but then when I try to boot from the new disk nothing works. Is there any way to install a new larger bootable hard disk, and retain all my settings and updates? Gary P -- |

Gary P Imaging is the best way to go, and check your hard drive manufacturer for updated software to copy the old drive to the new.
