| I would like to make my wife's machine our print/file server and the

|
| Is there an easy way that I can take a drive from one machine and put
| it in
| antoher and have it load the correct device drivers for the new
| machine?
|
| Assuming I can do the above, I will move the server to my wife's old
| machine and
| that will be all with it. On my wife's machine, I would like to move
| her from a
| 20 GB drive to a new 160GB drive. Both drives are IDE. How can I copy
| the data
| from the 20GB drive to the 160GB drive so that it is a single 160 drive
| and still
| bootable?
|
| Thanks!
if you take a WinXP OS on a hard disk and move it from computer A to computer B there is a
very high probability that the platform will either not boot, generate a BSOd or NT Stop
Error.
Get a TCP/IP Print Server. I always suggest the HP JetDirect Print Servers.
To clone data from a 20GB HD to a 160GB HD you could use Norton Ghost. You will need to
have at least WinXP SP1 to work with 48bit LBA.
