Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

I want to read the original article, but when I click on the link, error message says -File Not Found-.

Has the original article been removed?

Sorry about that. The system is being updated and articles moved offsite. To help you I've copied the original to here.

Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

Thank you! I followed the directions through Option 1 and it worked! The only thing I did differently was to use the "Add Test Boot" option instead of the QBD, but I did make a QBD also just in case. Next I will try Option 2 when I feel a bit more brave.

Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

I'm glad to hear it worked. I use the Pro version and make incremental backups every night.

Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

hi uh, i'm kinda new to this whole thing, so im just going to state what problem i am having...and if anyone can help, then that would be awsome...
well, i followed the instructions on the "XxClone - How to copy your operating system from one drive to another." but for some reasone, my computer doesn't do step 20, and i put the floppy and evrything, but it never shows anything like it does in the image...is it supposed to tale a long time for it to even get there?

BTW my computer is running on 500MHz of CPU, would that have an effect on it?

Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

This should happen fairly quickly even on a 500MHz machine. Have a look at your floppy in Explorer and see what files are there. You should have the following:

Autoexec.bat
Boot.ini
Config.sys
Io.sys
MSDos.sys
NTDetect.com
NTLDR

Question Re: How to copy your operating system from one hard drive to another

i only see see a file called BOOT and thats it
is it possible that i'm missing some programs or components?or something?
is it also possible that i might have done some step wrong?
because it kinda feels like i might have probably done step 12 wrong...is the window supposed to close its self or do i have to close it?

I'm glad to hear it worked OK. No, you don't have to change jumpers etc. if you use the QBD.
