Is there a way that i can replace my present hard drive on the server (win 2000 advanced server) with the minimum down time, and so that i do not have to configure the server again?

If you don;t have any drives mirrored, just buy a new drive, install in the machine. Use the new drive to mirror the old drive. Once everything has been up and running for a few hours, shut the machne down and remove the old drive. The new drive should take over without a problem. I left out a few steps actual steps though. I find that this is the easiest as the machine downtime in minimal and you don't need extras software like DriveCopy.
