hello john
thank you for your message. I read the article from eneles but it is far too complicated. i have a dell inspiron 6000 laptop (window xp home edition) and a 40gb hard drive which is too small now. I need to buy a 160 gb or more hard drive and transfer everything onto the new blank 160gb hard drive.
1st question: how do i do the transfer? do i leave my old hard drive in my laptop and transfer with a usb to the new blank hard drive all the op system?

Yes, but you can only transfer with a program like XXClone. Don't be put off. As I say at the beginning of the article, it looks complicated, but it's not. You just need to read it carefully and follow the steps. I knew nothing about XXClone when I wrote that article; I simply recorded the steps I took.

2nd question: how will i be able to configure my wireless intel icons to pick up the internet? is part of the os or a independent wireless card?
|
If you clone your drive everything should be as it was.

Just take it a step at a time and don't be afraid to ask if you're not sure.
Regards,
John.
