    Wuss!

    When I added a second drive to my XP system, I couldn't get it to recognise the second drive. I ended up losing everything on teh first drive.

    Unlike earlier versions of Windows, XP doesn't automatically recognise additional drives. Google "xp doesn't recognise second drive"

    If I can do it...anyone can
    NM, yep, makes sense. I do have one niggling bug with this PC in that Movie maker locks up when ever I plug my DV camera in. So I'll do what you suggest above and just try and be patient!

    Thanks.

    The other thing a fresh install does is eliminate all the crap that tends to build up over time that you don't really need, bits of old installs that have been removed etc.

    I'm contemplating doing it at the moment, got a small niggling refusal to shut down problem after a failed install for a slide scanner.

    Once you've got everything right download tweakui for XP and redirect all your 'My documents' folders off C drive.

    Most of the hdd suppliers have an install program such as seagate seatools, this will allow you to install the new drive and will give you the option of copying the complete old drives contents.

    Before you do that, slipstream a new install disc with all the updates on it. See Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)

    I use Acronis Trueimage,
    You can even take a back-up while you are still using windows!
    Not as fast as Ghost, but works a treat.
