Mark,

Try the product "DISK COPY". I don't remember the manufacturer's name but this one you can find at many computer stores and costs close to $35. Using a backup tape is another solution but it's slow and requires a tape drive and a good tape backup tape software. DISK COPY allows to duplicate partitions from one physical drive to another (surprisingly, this product doesn't allow to create duplicate partitions on the same physical drive.) The partition's size on the destination disk can be either same or larger than the size of source partition. This product is specifically designed to address the needs that arise when one is trying to replace an existing drive. The key when using this product is, partition the new disk to have same number and type of partitions (not a must but makes it an easier process) as on the disk you are replacing (the new partition sizes can be larger though). Then copy each original partition to the corresponding partition on the new drive. After the duplication, simply remove the old drive and reconnect the new drive to take the position of old drive (interface wise, physical position is not an issue.) Good luck and Happy Holidays.

Regards,
Goutama
