Clone the HD then switch it. It will work flawlessly...
I have a PC I use where the XP OS is on a 60 Gig hard drive. I have several internal HD available from 160-500 Gig where I would like to clone the OS using DriveImage XML or similar program.
I have watched videos on making back ups, but I am unsure if I can simply clone the OS and change the start up to another HD or do I physically change the drives? How do I get the PC to recognize the new drive's OS?
Do I need to partition the new destination HD? I do not have the OS on a disc.
Thanks,
George
