I have an existing 10GB hard drive with windows nt 4.0 OS. The hard drive is partition as follows:
volume capacity format
c 3160MB Fat
d 2961MB Ntfs
e 3418MB NtfsMy problem is I want to replace the 10GB drive with a 40GB drive. I also want to be able to format my new drive, so that I can copy the volume c partition from the 10GB drive to the 40GB drive without having to install all my other programs. The problem I having is that when I format the new drive so that my new c drive is a Fat partition my volume capacity is limited to 2.0GB, and this is smaller than my original volume c and I'm unable to do a partition copy.
Any Suggestions
Use Ghost to copy your C: partition onto your new Drive. With Ghost you will also be able to set the size of your partition.

Why dont you just put the new hard drive in as a second hard drive? And use it for additional space... ut if you plan to transfer the adat, you should use ghost as XP DOC said.

Is there any reason why your c: is fat? You can pre format the new drive by installing it on another system, create a larger ntfs partition for the c:. Then either reinstall NT, drive immage, or ghost the info back. There are many ways to do this. Some have ups and downs. Reinstalling NT is always a good thing to do. Makes it really clean and quick.

Hv you confirmed that your hardware supports 40 GB.
if yes than I believe that ghost shoud be able to transfer data from old drive to new drive.
