PowerQuest Drive Image 9 has all the advanced features needed to make a partition copy of Windows XP. I know this for certain because I've done it. It can only go from same sized drives or from smaller to larger (as you're doing). So it looks like a go for you. Make sure you use the advanced options to make the drive bootable and all that. Then switch the larger drive from slave to master.

Norton Ghost will probably do the trick, but you'll probably be stuck doing a "repair" installation of XP to make the drive bootable. That's fine too, at least all your files remain intact.

Thanks for the reply. I looked for Drive Image 9....and there's only a drive image 7. Looks like Symantec bought them out, so Ghost is the one they push and they don't make Drive Image anymore. Did you mean Drive Image 7, or is it a different product you were thinking of?

You're right, I had a brain fart and actually had to look at the program to figure out it was Drive Image 7.

Drive Image 7 would be the perfect solution but you can probably get away with Ghost even if it requires you to run a repair instal of XP to get the OS back up.
