copying windows xp

[Rikku]

no, no, not that kind of copying

I did a fresh install of Windows XP on a hard drive I picked up somewhere and just realized that although it is 7200rpm, it is only ATA66...

SO, I would like to copy my installation of XP onto a different hard drive - since I have spent time installing stuff and setting it up already.

What is the best way to do this? Can Norton Ghost do this? Imagecast? Is any imaging software that anyone has seen up to tackling this task?

Thanks guys!

Yep, Ghost can do it just fine.
A new drive should also come with a disk that can do this for you. And, if not, you should be able to find the util on their website.

thanks angel!

Now lets hope it doesn't ask me to activate it again!

But then again if you are doing a ghost it should just run like it was never put on a new hard drive.
