Move two drives to one new?

ho_agie · 03-13-2006, 06:45 AM

Using Windows 98, two drives (C,D) that I would like to combine/move to a newer drive. Is it possible to combine C (O/S) and D (Programs/Data) on the new drive? I have Norton Ghost if that would help.

Not sure if changing any string in the current registry where "D:\" shows to "C:\" will allow this to work. Anyone have any tips on combining without having to go through the O/S install and program loading again? Thanks for the help.

The only way I know to do it is to create 2 partitions on the drive,
make sure they are C and D,then use norton to clone C to C and D to D.
That way all program paths remain the same.
If you are going to use a larger hard drive,understand that windows 98 can
only utilize a drive up 32GB.
