I have a 40 gig HD with WINXP. I would like to install a 60-80 gig HD and put my existing XP onto that HD with my programs,etc and then put 98SE on my existing 40 gig drive. How can I transfer my contents over to my new drive and then "wipe" my old drive clean. I have a PentIII with 512 MB. Will my BIOS recognize a 80 or 100 gig if I choose to buy it?

there are a variety of softwares you can use, i like norton ghost. use norton ghost to make a full image of the 40 gig, transpose it to the larger drive, make sure you can boot with it, then wipe the 40 and install your other os

you could use maxblast 3 and clone the drive
down load it from maxtor it works with most HDD
to get it to work you might have to press F three times I found this a great program for cloning formating ect hope this helps
