Re: Hard Disk Transfer Possible?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hey Brian,

Thanx so much for your instructions!

Since my BIOS can't boot using a usb floppy, and I have no floppy
drive... I plan to plug the new drive into my bro's drive and create
two partitions of FAT type, and make one of the drives bootable using
the format /s option. I think this would allow the new drive to be
bootable on my comp and allow me to install windows (from the data on
the other partition)?

You've been a great help... looks like i've got a new hard disk to
look forward to!
