Sorry if this is in the wrong area; I'm not sure where to post it!
I'm giving an old computer to my grandson to play with and I'm concerned that the C: drive may be on the way out. I'd like to put in a new 250GB drive for him and make it the C: drive. Is there some way to swap all the files from the present drive - it's the only one in the computer at the present time - to the new HDD so that I don't have to reinstall everything? I'd like to just transfer/copy everything and then take out the old HDD (40GB) and recycle it. The computer is running Windows XP.
Thanks for any help,
.....Gord
