Greetings,

I am about to change harddrives for the first time and would 
appreciate insights from anyone.... I need to move all the files from 
an old 800 MB harddrive (presently the C:\on the computer)to another 
harddrive installed on the same machine (D:\)(3 GB) and then make the 
second (D:\) the new master.. I can do the mechanical switching and 
jumpers.. it is the file transfer i am concerned about. I would 
rather not format the second harddrive at this time until I am more 
confident with what I am doing. If go ahead and use xcopy in DOS 
(can't add anything to the C:\ hardrive at the moment.. too small to 
download anything to it) . THEN I have an old 2 GB harddrive I will 
format and make the slave (D:\) . This computer is presently set up 
by Internet COnnection wizard and I am wanting to make the switchover 
as painless as possible as I mearn how to do this. As far as programs 
they are not an issue.. I have CD's of all on the machine. The OS is 
Windows98 SE.
Once i gain my confidence with this old machine then I want to use 
xxcopy for the main one (the primary computer in hte home office)

Any help would be appreciated .
