Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / April 2008Drives
I have 320GB as drive 0 with XP installed. I split my old 80GB (Drive 1 Slave) into two partitions. One I want to put a another copy of XP for a dual boot, the other half will be for backups. I tried the software that came with the newer 320GB drive and after the disk-to-disk copy it failed. Does XP setup have a way to install other than drive 'C'? Is there a way to this??? Any help would be appreciated BP If you'd rather not ask for technical support from the company that made your new hard drive I would suggest this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+dual+boot+windows+xp&btnG=Google+Search --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I have 320GB as drive 0 with XP installed.

However xp already has such software built into the OS.Simply set old hd as slave on same IDE cable,format the hd or partition in xp,once thru,go to run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r Agree to all in the DOS window.Also, D: being the old hd or partition,if asigned diffrent letter,then use that one instead..Works every time in xp... > I have 320GB as drive 0 with XP installed.

I tried 3 times without success. What I get is disk read error, but I can read everything on the drive. So, I delete all partitions on that smaller drive, reformat, ...still no go. Maybe its a bad MBR or something...I'll keep trying.....

I see I can change the Drive letters, but not those other devices don't show up. BP > Never had any problems with the disk to disk copy software that most hard > drive makers provide.
