Hello John,
Last time I put in a 200 gig Maxtor drive I got from Flys Electronics,
it came with an installation disk that had the ability to copy the old
drive contents to the new drive.
Worked fine for me.
best regards

JB> However I am concerned about the fact that it is likely to be a

JB> I am thinking Windows will have all sorts of settings for the new drive

JB> Does anyone have any experience with this and suggestions or am I stuck

JB> Thanks,
JB> John.
