hi,
heres the deal.
C: = 80gig
D: = 120gig music/video
there both stuffed and C: is running horribly.
I have a new drive that i would like to do a fresh install of XP Pro onto.
i wanted to be able to plug it into D: connector and use partition magic to install XP to it. and then later be able to boot to that disk while being able to see and selectivly move stuff from the original C:
but what i have found is that i have to install the second copy of xp back onto the original C:
I know i can move partitions from 1 disk to another but will the new XP partition move OK?
or can i
1, plug my C: into the D: connector.
2, plug the new drive into C: connector.
3, boot from XP install disk and install onto fresh drive.
4, then be able to see the original C: like i use to see the original D:.
Thank you.
