Gary,
I did this just this past weekend.
I was running Win98SE, booted to MS-Dos and ran Xcopy32.
Worked great except for the fact that my long file names were trashed. :-(
Did a search using Copernic with "hard drive copy" as the search parms and
came up with this little program called XXCOPY.
(http://cdnet.softseek.com/Utilities/File_Management/File_Moving_and_Copying
/Review_31742_index.html)

Booted to MS-Dos again, ran it copying all the files from the little drive
to the big one, swapped the hard drives, powered up and voila!  It booted to
Win98 with no problems.

Give it a try, the program is free.

I have a 2.5 GB HDD currently partitoned into a 2.0 GB C: drive and a 500
MB D: drive. I would like to replace it with a 6.0 GB HDD that I will
remove from a used computer that I just bought. If possible, I would like
to somehow transfer the contents of the 2.5 GB HDD to the 6.0 GB HDD so
that all files will once again occupy the C: and D: drives. I will be
ultimately be removing the 2.5 GB HDD. I don't have any kind of Backup
Device. I was wondering if there might be some procedure that I could use
to transfer the files by making the 6.0 GB HDD a slave, transferring the
files, and then making it the master by itself. Thanks.
