I am running Windows ME on an old system (Pionex Pentium 133 with 124 MB RAM) It is working well to my surprise. I recently installed a second hard drive and would like to transfer the OS to the new hard drive. Is there a way to do this?:confused:

I have used a free application from Seagate called DiscWizard 2003 (http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/drivers/discwiz.html) which makes switching drives easy as pie.

It is built for Seagate Hardrives, but I have used it in conjunction with Quantum drives with no bother.

The only downside I can say about it is that it is 7.4 MB in size, so downloading on a 56 connection will take a while.

Format the drive you want move to set the jumper to slave and the one you are copying from to master windows will name them C & D get some mirrion soft ware , ilike norton ghost but there some others follow the instructions that comes with what ever software you use , when you get it copied format the one you copied from change it to slave change the one you copied to as master put them on your ide cable master on the first connector slave second connector boot up and happy computun
