Ally One thing you may want to consider when adding a 7200rpm drive is the extra heat generated especially when adding a second drive. The addition of a cooling fan may be necessary and the design of your old box may not be very conducive for the extra air flow for efficient cooling not to mention whether your old mother board supports the hookup of an extra fan. Hope this helps.

I see that you have MaxBlast to try, which should do what you need. I while ago I purchased a Fujitsu HD with it came Diskgo! Disk Manager, doing what your MaBlast will do for you. I thought this will only work between Fujitsu HD's, but by looking at the files I noticed a DOS utility Filecopy. I tried this and to my surprise I can copy the a whole partition to another HD, make it bootable, so it answers your xcopy question. I have transferred several operating systems from small HD's to larger ones, both Win95 and Win98's. The file is only 85kb and the readme is 6kb. The chances are, that you have something similar with MaxBlast, so look for it, if can't find any, I gladly email these to you, just send me your address by PM. Alex
