A couple of weeks ago, I just reinstalled a fresh copy of windows XP with all the necessary programs and updates, only to realize that I need one of my HDD (where the fresh copy is installed) for my multimedia PC. I have 2 HDD.

Is there any way (short of a reinstall or buying a new HDD!!), to move windows XP to another drive?

I'm dual-booting into my old windows at the moment and planning to use the new fresh copy and delete the old one.....

Thx.

try norton ghost

1st...izit ur another pc is same spec with ur current 1?
2nd..if yes then u can use norton ghost to do the operation u want.
3rd..if not then i think the best option is stil u have to fresh install again

It's my current one. 2 HDD. I want to move it to the other HDD on the same rig.....

Errmmm..... would that work? I mean, if I use norton ghost, it will copy everything as a whole. However, the windows' parameters are still the same...... meaning that if the original windows was in E drive, all the registers will point to E drive. If I moved it to C drive, then windows won't be able to find the folders!!

So, basically, does windows provide any move function to move itself?

Note : I probably have to reinstall but will take hours as I have to install all the drivers and programs, including updating all the data e.g. antivirus, anti-spyware, etc..... just thought I ask before I do that....

are you sure you've already searched?
