I have two harddrives and xp is on the smaller (80GB) and I wish to transfer xp to the larger (200GB) which is also set up as the slave. Please advise the proper way to do this. Also will I have to reregister XP on the larger hd.

thanks

Any number of drive copying programs exist. A Google search will turn up more then you need. I use the software provided by the drive maker.

Reregistering (I think you mean reactivation) will likely not be needed.

Re:windows xp move to 200GB drive = I wouldn't.

If your XP CD is just XP and not XP SP1, too many are showing up with "All my data is gone!" after a minor mishap and running the repair functions in non-SP1 XP.

You'll want a shiny XP SP1 CD before I would suggest this move.
