Hello

For sometime I have been using my main system with a dual boot for Win98 and WinXP pro. However I have decided to return to just WinXP pro once my new HD arrives?

I would rather not reinstall everything.
Is it possible to copy or Ghost my current WinXP from my old HD to the new one and then just use the Recovery option from the bootable Winxp cd to make the New HD bootable to Winxp?

I'm thinking it should look like: 3HD
New - Drive 0 = Winxp | Games
Drive 1 = Swap | MP3
Drive 2 = Files

Suggestions?
Recomendations?

Sincerely
Sandman

Ghost copies everything including the boot information so all you need to do is ghost your current drive to the new one and remove your old drive. Either remove or format your old drive directly after the ghost or you will have lots of problems when 2 identical installs of windows try to load off of 2 hd's at once.
