Can I just install my new rive as a slave and do a global copy or is it more
complicated with Windows XP Pro?

Please email me if you have the answer.
Thanks

Most new drives come with software and instructions for moving everything over.
If you don't have the software, check the drive mfg website, you will probably
be able to download it. Otherwise you can use something like Norton Ghost or
PowerQuest Drive Image software (now a Symantec Product) to move the entire
drive content. You cannot just copy the files, unless this is simply a data
disk.
