I have XP Home SP2 on my C drive and everything is working fine. I want to
add a larger hard drive and move my system to the new drive. Can I just
copy
the contents of my C drive to the new drive and boot from that drive
(change
the bios)? Then can I redesignate the new larger drive as my C drive and
relegate the old drive to D? Thanks.
Why not do it the other way around? Install the new drive as a slave and
move all your data to it.....much easier.
