HD COPY

[Fernando]

I need to copy all my HD for other new HD. As to do that to maintain
all the information already existent, without needing to install all my
programs again.

A neat way is to fdisk and format it from a boot CD as master before
pluging in the old drive as a slave. After booting from the new one,
use an OS command to copy everything from the old to the new disk.
This should move everything except OS files in use.

Most hard drive makers have a program for doing this that they provide with

their retail boxed drives. You can also prob. get it from their websites. You
rig up the drives master and slave and then run the program from a boot disk in
a kind of DOS program. The last time I did this I used Data LifeGuard tools
that came with the drive. This program was very slow for doing 80 gigs of data
but it didn't miss a bit.

This is *dangerous* on any version of Win. The short->long file name
links tend to get hosed. Partition Magic is your friend.
