transfer contents of system drive to new hard drive

by adoktor1 . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

i was wondering if i could get help for my current problem.

i currently have two hard drives, C:, a 200GB drive which is almost full and D:, a 500GB drive where i store music, videos etc. i just purchased a new hard drive to replace my C: drive and i used seagate’s discwizard to make an image back-up of my original C: drive so i could transfer all the contents of the old drive to the new one, including windows xp. however, when i swapped out the drives, the new drive won’t boot. shouldn’t the image back-up completely copy all the contents of my old C:, including the system information to boot up? how should i go about doing this? i want my new drive to retain all the contents of my old C: drive. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
