Here is how you can do it:
- Install your disk as a slave disk in some other Win2000 PC.
- Copy everything from the slave disk to the new disk, including
hidden files.
- Install the new disk in its usual machine.
- Restore the Win2000 boot environment.
Partition imaging tools are beginning to look attractive, especially
if they are as attractively priced as Acronis TrueImage . . .
