Hi to all

I am from Greece and new here but i have a problem.
I have a PC with two Sata hdd. One boot (C:) disk 160GB and another one 250 GB (D:)
I buy a 320GB HDD and i want to replace the 160GB with the 320GB without install Vista and all the other programs to my PC.
I want the 320GB is the bootable (C:) HDD with Vista and the 250GB (D).
What is the correct procedure in this case ??

Thank in advanced to all.

If it were mine, I would take out the 250 gig disk and put the new disk you want to be your main disk in it's place. Then, I would use XXClone to clone your 160 disk to the new disk. then, remove the other disks from the system and get your cloned one going as the boot drive. Then, when all that is done, put the 250 back in as an extra disk.

XXClone and if you need any information about this program then read the
