Dimension 4300 XPHome SP2
Ghost 2003
Original drive 80 GB and want to replace it with new 120GB drive.
1. should I use ghost to create an image to an external drive, and then use
the boot floppy to put the image on the new HDD in the primary position or
2. Use ghost to clone the old drive to the new drive that would be in the
secondary position. This already has a drive in it but I don't foresee any
problems with cloning to the second and then pulling the old drive , moving
the newly cloned drive to primary and putting the drive that I removed back
in.
3. Is there anything I need to do in the BIOS settings after moving the
cloned drive to the primary position?
4. I assume I will get all of my OS files, updates etc. The drive currently
has four partitions on it, and from what I have read, Ghost will create four
partitions on the cloned drive but the size of each will increase.
The original drive that came with the Dell is still OK, but I need some more
room.
Thanks
Bob
