So you're gonna have *two* X15's in your sytstem (an original & a new 36LP)?
u suk
I think I'm gonna get one. The price is too good. I also wanna get a 120GB IBM 120GXP to store all my CDs in lossless audio compression format:
http://mp3.radified.com/http://monkeysaudio.com/Anyway, I transfered everything over to a new boot drive once. It can be a tricky operation. I talked to Joshua about it first (old AGN Joshua). He said that he hates replacing boot drives.
Anyway, the procedure is to create an image (Ghost) of the old boot partition. It doesn't matter where you put it, but will go faster if you image to a non-affected drive.
http://ghost.radified.com/With SCSI you need to deal with SCSI IDs. The primary partitioin on SCSI ID 0 (zero) gets the letter C (if you have no IDE drives).
Shutdown & configure drive jumpers so that the SCI ID of the new drive becomes that of the old (usually SCSI ID 0).
Set the old to SCSI drive ID 1 or 2 .. note that some SCSI CDROMs & burner take 3 & 4 by default, but you can change them. I don't hink you have SCSI CDROM or burner.
Boot with FDISK floppy and partition new drive & format:

Boot with Ghost floppy (note problems with PC-DOS-based floppies):

Reboot with FDISK floppy instead of Ghost floppy, and reformat the *old* partition where Windows USED TO reside (probably your old C). Note that you can see drive-letter designations in FDISK.
Reboot to Windows & life is beautiful.
Notre that some ppl have written to me and warned of problems after *cloning*. See here:
http://ghost.radified.com/ghost_4.htmYou are not 'cloning' per se, but the effect is the same. That 's why I say to reformat the old 'Windows' partition before booting into Windows. I never had this problem. Once you restore the image, you shouldn't need the old system any longer.
Make sure you *Check* the image after creating it (it's all in my guide). You might be able to use some of these files:
