Hi, Toyman,

Got back a day late, sorry,
Lets start from the beginning.

1. The XP CD is bootable, you may have to go into your BIOS and set the CD
to boot before the hard drive does.
Use this to install a complete new operating system on a clean drive.
All the tools are there for you to use.

2. Partition Magic can copy a bootable mirror image of your operating system
onto an unallocated space on your hard drive.
Use this if you have programs installed that you want transfered to the
new drive.
Partition Magic should be installed on the 1st hard drive that is
bootable.
Reset the jumpers so the old drive is bootable Master.
The new drive as slave.

Create new emergency floppies after PM is installed.

Boot with the floppies,
Select disk 1 to see that partition or disk 2 to see the new hard drive.
Highlight the new drive by clicking it,
Look in the menu's for delete and click it to delete the partition
making it an unallocated space.
Do not create or format this space.

Select disk 1 and highlight the partition with the operating system,
find copy in the menu's, Select copy,
Follow screen prompts to select the unallocated space to copy the
operating system onto.
Don't worry about having enough space, the new drive has plenty.
This usually takes about 40 minutes to copy.

After you exit and reboot, you will see it has created a dual boot.
Select the new drive and see all programs have been copied.

Shut down and reposition the jumpers and or remove the old drive.

Good luck,
Jerry

Once you get the system up and running, you can resize the partitions to
whatever you need.
I usually set my operating system partition to about 10 GB as C: drive,
D: drive for all my other programs.
The older drive can be used for backups or whatever suits you.
