2.0 gig / 128 / 400 / 1.525v celeron 478 socket
2 cd/dvd, 3.5 floppy, 80 gig maxtor 7200
the hdd has a mechanical problem where is unexpectedly will shut off and freeze.
my goal is to create an exact duplicate of that drive and replace it with the newly created drive. this new drive will be my new c:\ boot drive.
i can make the old drive a slave and i would have access to all of the hdd. i've done this a number of times however.... i've never tried to make a cloned boot drive.
so... what is the best way to make a copy of the old drive and have it work as a root "C:\drive"
i can try the file transfer wizard but i want to be sure it works as a boot drive.
