Hello,
I am hoping someone can help straighten me out on the right direction to take on my problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Currently, I have the following setup:
1. 40 GB drive ('C'), with Win 2000 installed. It has
one partition dedicated to the entire HD, with File
Type NTFS. (This may be regrettable, but when I
installed W2K I was rather green.)
2. CD-ROM assigned to drive 'D'.
This is the setup I would like to have:
1. Mount new hard drive (80 GB) assigned to drive 'C',
with Win 2000 installed and booting from it. Data
from old HD 'C' copied to new 'C'.
2. Old HD reformatted and then re-partitioned into (?) 2
partitions, so I can use one for Linux OS and other
for overflow Windows storage.
3. Shove CD-ROM down to 'F' (or 'G'?).
If I don't have "Ghost" or "Drive Image" is there still a way to do the above? Could I use the Disk Management features in W2K to handle this?
If you can make some suggestions I would be most appreciative.
Many thanks in advance,
Josef
