Hi,
I have just been preparing my old Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop to give to my daughter. 
I have formated and re-installed XP prof o/s, upgraded with service packs 2 & 3 and put on lots of other programmes. 
I now realise that the existing hard drive might be a little small. I am consequentally wondering if I have to go through all this again if I put a larger hard drive in? Is there any way I could make a copy of the hard drive by putting it in a USB h / d dock and then replacing the existing drive with the copy?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thank you.
Regards,
John.
