sepku Transfering your favs is easy. In an IE window go to file/import and export/export favs to a floppy. To install on a new drive use the import process. I don't know how to transfer any of the other configuration. I'm sure someone will come along more knowledgeable. Here's a couple of articles on installing a second hard drive. I have no experience doing it. smartcomputing.com computercraft.com ehow.com tc

Keeping Things or Norton Ghost Slave your new drive or set it to secondary master, and use Ghost to write the old drive to the new drive resizing partitions as you go. You may want to disconnect the CD drive while you do the drive imaging to simplify things. Once your done imaging you can swap the drives, primary to secondary or master to slave and you should have your new drive up and running as an exact copy of your old one, you can select the new partition sizes when you run Ghost. It helps to have a copy of Partition Magic for resizing and Fdisk on a bootable floppy is also handy. Ghost allows you to write just about anything to anywhere, anysize. Similar to Drive Image but in my experience, more flexible. You can take snapshots of any drive and store that as a file, the size of the file is dependant on your actual data size. PM and Ghost are both limited by your current data size, you won't be allowed to make data destroying changes such as selecting a partition size smaller than the data size. Once the new drive is running, all your files will be where you think they are. You can use Ghost to do a "partition to drive" copy which will wipeout/replace any partition information on the secondary/slave (old) drive. It is important to note, PM can resize a partition, Ghost cannot, PM is partitioning software, Ghost is imaging software. It can be done in Ghost as a two step process, store the image, rewrite and resize at the same time, but PM is much better, you want Ghost though. Xcopy32, sys and Fdisk work ... just not very good Have fun
