| subject: | Cloning with XXCopy |
TW>If the goal is more capacity, and there is no space for another drive but a TW>single large drive will work, here is another option. This is only for TW>Windows 9X, as the cloning process does not produce a bootable disk in NT4, TW>2000, or XP. TW>1. Download and install the freeware program xxcopy http://www.xxcopy.com/. TW>2. Install the new drive as a slave (or cable select), partitioning and TW>formatting as desired. This would have to be done with the case open and the TW>drive just attached to the cable and power. If you want multiple partitions, TW>obviously what will later become the "C" partition will need to be large TW>enough to hold the existing files on the master "C". But assuming a single TW>partition which will temporarily be assigned as "D", the basic sequence is: TW>3. Connect the new drive as D: TW>4. FDISK (initialize a partition) TW>5. FORMAT D: (init volume for file access) TW>6. XXCOPY C:\ D:\ /CLONE (copy all the files) TW>7. connect the new drive as C: TW>8. FDISK (set active partition) TW> Complete instructions are on their web site at ---------------------------------- TW>http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy10.htm. Note that the clone operation may need TW>to be done 2-3 times before it completes. ----------------------------- This caught my eye. How on earth can CLONE OPERATION not BE COMPLETE with the first operation???? If it isn't, how on earth will you ever know when it IS complete?
