Hi. I need some guidance on copying a windows xp drive,copying the hole drive including the operating system to another hard drive(the original drive is on its last legs).
Wow Thanks for the advice,what i think i will do is look at the drive copy software mentioned and also look at the one on www.easus.com/disk-copy and see if i can back it up to DVD. Then install Ubuntu on a new hard drive and see how i get on with it. It has worked fine on my laptop for over a year, but that has no cd/dvd burning facilities and the new desktop has. It is possible to connect two desktop boxes to one lcd monitor isn't it (by a double connector)? Would really like to move completely to Linux as Don't want Vista and fed up with Microsoft money grabbing new operating system launches to get us to buy more powerful systems.What next minimum Ram 50GB? Well i ain't a buyin Mr Gates (oops sorry you don't work there anymore!) Thanks again chaps (and ladies) Barry
