      6) Mirror the existing SYS volume onto the new drive.
      7) When the mirror is complete, down the server and remove the
         old drive and put the new drive in its place.
      8) Boot with a dos disk and make the boot partition active and
         restart.
  I have done this a couple of times on systems with less than 1 gig and
  the users were able to continue working.  Saves a lot of manual work
  also.
