acurda Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I have an slightly older computer running windows 2000. I would like to install a larger hard drive. The PC does not have physical space that I can see to place one. Is it possible to copy one hard drive to a larger one and have it run on the machine?If I remember right, WINXP uses the serial number for the hard drive in it't registration process. Does WIN2000 do the same.ThanksAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raddy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 The only way I could think of doing that is temporarily setting the newer drive in another bay (perhaps a CD or DVD drive bay) and using a third-party program like Norton Ghost to mirror the drive.
