If you buy a retail boxed Maxtor Disk it will come with the wonderful CD.

Follow the instructions in the manual before installing the disk in your PC.

You will be able to:
1] Format
2] Partition
3] Clone existing C Drive
4] Power Off
5] Disconnect Old C Drive
6] Reconfigure New Drive as Primary
7] Reboot to XP

all without any fuss, drama or problems. Plus Windows will still function.
