Have you already set up the New HD and installed XP? In other words....is the new drive in a computer and bootable...up and running? If so....I'll assume that you know how to install a hard drive. Just connect the smaller drive as a second hard drive. You need to make sure your slave/master jumpers are correctly set on each drive and you may need to adjust your bios settings. After that is done...when you boot...your new drive will show as C and your older 10 gig as a lower letter (d,e,f, or etc). You'll be able to open up both in their own windows and drag/drop files to your new drive. HOWEVER-------IF....... You don't have your new drive installed and need to simply transfer ALL info from the old drive so that the new drive is EXACTLY like the old (boots just like it,etc) and it HAS to be an exact copy of the old drive....yes, check out Norton Ghost. ALSO....it may be possible to boot to a DOS proprompt when both drives are installed and ghost the contents from old to new using a command line...but we would only need to go in to that if you actually need a mirror image of the old. Hope this helps...let us know if you need more info.
