Here is what I would do, 1. Copy the Norton ghost folder fro the program files folder to under the C: drive and rename Norton ghost to ghost 2. shut down machine and connect the new drive to the second IDE channel (remove CD_ROM if necessary) 3. Start system and go into BIOS and make sure the new drive is recognized. 4. make a dos boot floppy and put format.com on it, and boot to the dos prompt. 5. Fdisk the drive answering yes to large drive support. 6. Format the new drive (be careful you know the correct drive letter) 7. when finished at the A: prompt enter C: 8. cd\ghost 9. ghostpe.exe 10 you will want to do a disk to disk image. It will ask for the source drive and the destination drive 11 shut down remove the original drive and put your new drive on the primary IDE channel 12. reconnect your CD-ROM drive 13 restart your system and that should do it.
