Re: Replacing Hard Drive - on WinXP Pro 64-bit Ed.

Most imaging programs can boot from a CD or DVD and clone the drive from
there. It doesn't matter what OS is on the drive because it is not loaded. I
use Acronis True Image. XP 64 bit is a supported OS.

Hi,
I have the exact same issue as a post that was made on 9/24 called
"Replacing Hard drive" - except my O/S is Windows XP Pro 64-bit
Edition. I really didn't want to have to completely re-install
everything on the new drive.

Is there a way to copy all of the old files from the old HD over to
the new HD, keeping in mind that I'm on the 64-bit platform? I know
about Norton Ghost, but I thought that only worked with 32-bit O/S.
Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Bill
