  I have a server sytem, which originally had WinNT on it. We later
upgraded to Win2k Server, but in order to maintain the settings (users,
groups, etc.) we kept the 4gb hard drive, and did an upgrade install. Now,
a few years later, we need to install a larger (c:) drive. How can I go
about doing that without losing all my configuration. I know how to save
the registry with RegEdit and the Metabase (or whatever of it it does save)
with MetaEdit, but how do I transfer all the users, groups, etc.?

Thanks,
DM
