Comment:

Is there a utility or a way to transfer an IDE disk image (BEOS) from a smaller IDE disk drive to a larger IDE disk drive? I have no experience with BEOS, but I'm trying to learn.
Thanks

Connect the new hard drive to the old system.

Boot to beos on the old system hard drive.
Use the Application "Installer" to do a "install from" (pull down tab) and "install to". If in doubt ask before you continue.
Usually the second channel of the IDE can be removed from the CD. The new hard drive usually comes set up as Master. Use one cable to the new HD.
If you are using the PE version NOT on a partition then you can just ZIP the file and on a defragged new drive copy the zip file over. This can be a problem. It must be a contigious file. Usually the copy command with the binary switch works.
