Hi Steve,

I concur with Tom's recommendation to use an imaging program such as
Norton's Ghost. I don't use, or recommend, other Symantec products for many
reasons, but I do use Ghost and highly recommend it. It's simple to use, a
real time saver and, on at least one occasion, it has saved my behind. For
anyone that may be interested, Ghost 2003 is included in Symantec Norton
SystemWorks 2003 Professional Edition which is available here for $8.00 +
shipping:

Symantec Norton SystemWorks 2003 Professional Edition - OEM CD Sleeve
Package:

Note that I am not affiliated in any way with this seller. Ghost can be
installed without installing the entire SystemWorks package. Send me an
e-mail for instructions on how to do this. Ghost 2003 is also included with
the retail version of Ghost 9.0. Ghost 9.0 can only be used with Windows XP
and Windows 2000 SP2 or later. If you keep a close watch on sales at places
like BestBuy, CompUSA and Circuit City, you can get Ghost 9.0 for as little
as $0.74 (the postage for mailing two rebates).

Good luck,
Sven Swanson, Sr.

Subject: [PCSOFT] transfer operating system to different HD


Hi,

My boot disk is showing signs of trouble and I'd like to transfer everything
over to another HD I already have on the system.  I realize this disk will
need to be the master, but how do I get the operating system (WinXP) over to
the second disk?  I don't have the same original Windows XP CD, although I
do have another that I bought and put on another system.  How would I do
this (hopefully, easily)?

Steve
