I took everyone's advice, and used the RICHKEY command with xcopy, and it appears that everything worked out OK. The new HDD is FAT32 and just occupies 6 MB in C:, instead of C: and D: like the old one was. I think the old one was FAT16. The system files still refer to D: like it was still there. For example, the autoexec.bat file has this line in it: PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\WINDOWS;%PATH% Can someone tell me if and what I should change in that line. There is a CD-ROM present on D: now, but I am assuming that this line refers to the old D: directory. Any other advice about how to delete things that refer to the "old d:" would be appreciated. Should I just reinstall windows so the systems setting are made automatically?
