If I got a new HDD I would take the oppurtunity to reinstall Windows and get myself a fresh installation. Like an early spring clean
 . It doesnt take all that long to reinstall games and programs, and having your 80gb plugged in you can copy saved games, or important documents accross in no time.

Maxtor MaxBlast 3 duplicates your hdd easily for free. get the windows version of MaxBlast 3 from here:
http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Ma...&downloadID=58 Run it and go to drive-to-drive copy and select source & Destination partition, hit start. there's also a dos version of this utility but it takes ages to duplicate hdd under dos mode.

ok I think you have only 1 partition on your current 80GB hdd, goto my computer and you should see only 1 hdd drive there (C: ), so the path to source partition will be "C:\" , when you add the new 200GB hdd and format the hdd, another hdd drive will be added to my computer (D: ), so the path to destination partition will be "D:\".
But first make sure that you currently have only one drive (C: ) in my computer. Last edited by khafan; 26-12-2004 at 19:48.

Are you sure the drive D: is a hdd drive and not your cd/dvdrom drive?
yeah you can just install the windows on new hdd and then copy your files from old hdd to new one. but first disconnect the old hdd from pc then install windows on new hdd.
