This website describes a possible problem with the xcopy "richkey" approach.
I have used xcopy "richkey" in the past without problems (with Win98), but
wanted to inform you of the possible problems it presents. This website
gives many suggestions to accomplish the task. As Tom indicated, Maxtor has
a utility to migrate to a new hardrive.
Enjoy your new drive.
