i just bought a bigger HD for my computer and i want the computer to act the exact same as it did before, just more space. i tried copying the drives with drive image pro (without making an image- just straight over) and when i put the new HD in it said no operating system found. is there anyway i can copy drives and have them act the same? I thank you very much if you can help.

The following site has drvclonerxp free download. I have used this as recently as 2 days ago and it allways works for me. It makes a byte by byte exact copy of your hard drive. http://www.softpile.com/Utilities/Disk_Utilities/Review_14956_index.html
