How can I move XP to large hard drive?

by theboatguy . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

I’m trying to upgrade to a larger hard drive on an XP machine. I’ve tried several ways of mirroring the smaller drive to the larger. I’ve tried several tactics using the ontrack cd that came with the drive (Hitachi) and I tried xcopy which told me that the anyuser folder couldn’t be copied. Same with Explorer. I haven’t been able to find any noticeable difference in those files or folders but the “mirror drive” will not boot. I get a message telling me that there has been a change in configuration. I can’t beleive it’s this difficult to upgrade to a larger hard drive with XP. What am I missing?
