RE: Copying my new hard drive to my old computer



Symantec market two products - Norton Ghost (now on version 9, I think) and
another they admired so much, they bought it out - Powerquest. You can make
an exact clone of one drive's setup on to another providing the target
Partition is set precisely the same as the donor Partition.

That's fine for drives where you wish to copy the Operating System in case
of a disk failure but for ordinary data transfer you can't beat good old
Control C/Control V.
