Re: Transferring from HD to HD

I looked at casper Xp and this is what they say on their site:

30-day trial version of Casper XP. While fully operational, this trial version does not provide support for volume resizing. For example, using the trial version of Casper XP to copy a 10GB drive to a new 100GB hard disk will result in a 10GB copy being created on the 100GB hard disk; the additional 90GB of space on the new hard disk will remain unpartitioned space. This is only a limitation of the trial version. The full release version of Casper XP will permit the copy of the 10GB drive to be resized to 100GB, making the additional 90GB of free space on the drive available for new files, folders, and programs. Casper XP is designed specifically for Windows XP and 2000 systems. For Windows 95, 98, or ME, use Drive2Drive.

Well the partition i want to copy is 20gb and i want it to take up 100gb, so thats out of the window.

Another thing, with the maxtor software, you have to choose a source and a destination path. Should the source be the 'C' Drive? and the destination the 100gb partition, which happens to be called 'DRV2_VOL1'. Or will copying the C drive just copy the files and mess up overall causing it not too boot or something?

Thanks


Thanks for pointing that out. My needs during my own trial period didn't
involve resizing, so I missed it - if re-sizing was restricted then. If you
happen to have access to Partition Magic or some other partition re-sizing
utlility, though, that is not a problem.

As for MaxBlast 4, remember why Maxtor provides it - they want you to
move your entire HD contents (operating system, installed programs,
all settings, EVERYTHING) to your new HD. That includes the Master
Boot Record and the boot files (ntldr, boot.ini, and ntdetect.com). Your
new HD, except for size of the partition, should look and behave *exactly*
like the old HD, and that includes booting itself. The source partition on
the old HD will remain unchanged.
