i have a new hd but my c drive is ntfs dynamic dick and when i try to copy it to the new hd it wont let me because it is dynamic and i cant find a way to do it.
i have norton ghost but can not figure a way to copy without dos because i have xp operating system. it gives me the option to use the in windows dos but when i go to use it it wont work. any info or web sites to go to would be really nice. thanks.

my only idea left is to make a backup file then install xp on the new hd then convert to dynamic so the hd's can see eachother and copy the backup to the new hd and then run the file under the new hd. will the backup restore all my info? will 2 same operating systems work like that? i am to scared to try it without knowing first.
