Hi all
Is there a way that I can replace my present hard drive on win 2000 Pro with the minimum down time, and so that I do not have to re-install configure the OS again?
My HD is failing and I have the replacement from Maxtor. The MaxBlast software that came with it doesn?t understand NTFS and therefore will not copy the 2 partitions to the new drive. I tried creating identical partitions and using xcopy32 and starting in safe mode and it did copy the ?storage? partition but it won’t copy files that are open in the partition containing the OS. I converted both drives to “Dynamic” and tried to mirror the old drive, but apparently this feature only works on w2k server. I have the new identical drive on the secondary ide channel as a master.
Any suggestions??
