New Hard Disk

[Guest]

I have installed a new hard disk in my system and wish to tranfer everything
from my current C Drive so that I can remove the old drive and make my new
disk the boot drive with everything on it. What is the best way to do this
please.

Most hard drives manufacturers supply software to do exactly what you need.
If you purchased the drive bare without the software visit the manufacturers
web site for a download and the necessary instructions.

Where do I find this Ghost on the web?

My problem is my C drive is 40GB and has Win 98 which I wish to remove and my D drive is 2.5GB which is the XP boot drive which is running out of space.
