cloned Hard drive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Have cloned 40gb hard drive onto new 120GB hard Drive. What files can I
delete off old Hard Drive or what do I do to tell PC to use new hard drive.

Many thanks

When you cloned the drive did you tick the box to make the new drive
bootable?
