I am upgrading from a 200MMX configuration to a Celeron 300A. I also want
to use this opportunity to upgrade my HD. My first question is how to
reliably copy my master HD to the new HD. I have used Ghost before and had
problems with msdos compatibilty. This was fixed by reinstalling Wndows. I
have heard that xcopy works with the proper switches. I also saw some other
S/W, Disk Clone.
My second question is what to expect when the new system boots from the
cloned HD. At best, I predict removing the Registry files and rebuilding
through a reinstall of Wndows 98. At worst, I envision a total reinstall of
Windows 98 along with all my S/W.
Suggestions please.
