i tried to do it with partition magic 7 as it was easier to set up and use.
it seemed to work, looks identical, resized and all, but when i swapped the
ice cables to make the new drive c, and re-booted, it sounded as if it was
loading a fair bit (too much) from the old c, so i shut down, unplugged the
old c completely, then started up again with only the new drive in. it
loaded to the blue welcome type screen, with a windows xp pro logo, then
stopped there. had to re-boot. seems it didn't work properly after all. any
suggestions? should i delete the new drive back to scratch and try ghost?
should it have worked with part magic? i am at a loss as i can't see why it
wouldn't work...
