| 55770 | 2002-06-21 04:17:00 | I have two drives one much larger than the other and designated D drive. I can transfer all my Windows files to the D drive from the C drive . I wish to make the D drive my start up drive . How do I do that and do I need to transfer any other files than the Windows files from The C drive to the D drive.? |

If your old drive is on the same channel, set it as the slave . You will need to make sure that all Windows system files (including hidden files) are copied across . Easiest way to do this is with an imaging (ghosting) program such as Norton's Ghost . You cannot (easily) leave your apps on the old drive - your registry settings will point to the c: drive and the apps will not go . |
