| 8594 | 2001-02-11 06:56:00 | I want to Install a new bigger hard drive on my Computer. I currently have Win 2k installed. I want to copy everything of the old 4.3G harddrive to the new one to save me reinstalling the many programs that I run. When I have installed the new drive is it simply a matter of copying the contents of the old drive to the new drive, then changing the bios boot sequence or are there other considerations when replacing my drive?

I would suggest keeping your old drive as a secondary - good for copying backups onto (as long as it is not your only form of backup since it is on-site). |
