RE: Drives

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The mfg disk software usually doesnt work with xp due to its security.
However xp already has such software built into the OS.Simply set old hd
as slave on same IDE cable,format the hd or partition in xp,once thru,go to
run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r Agree to all in the DOS window.Also,
D: being the old hd or partition,if asigned diffrent letter,then use that one
instead..Works every time in xp...

I have 320GB as drive 0 with XP installed. I split my old 80GB (Drive 1
Slave) into two partitions. One I want to put a another copy of XP for a
dual boot, the other half will be for backups. I tried the software that
came with the newer 320GB drive and after the disk-to-disk copy it failed.
Does XP setup have a way to install other than drive 'C'?
Is there a way to this???
Any help would be appreciated
