Looks like Jim is still running Win98.
This does not work for XP.
You can clone the drive using your manufacturers software, but you may
be required to do a repair installation of XP after you restart the
computer with the cloned drive. You will have to reinstall XP-SP2 if
you are using a preSP2 CD for your installation.
Norton Ghost works best for cloning drives.

Post back with your results.
