Hey guys,

I am going to get a bigger HARD drive,

The problem with the one i have is there is a Hidden partition that contains the windows xp disks.

I didn't get these CDs with the computer.

Is it possible to put this hidden partition onto a CD?
Or if not will i be able to remove it onto my new Hard drive through some sort of cable?

Thanks

R0SSAs far as i am aware, if that hidden partion contains information for xp recovery disks, then you will not be able to recreate it on ANOTHER hard drive or cd. But im not 100% sure. If you are getting another hard drive however and want to INSTALL xp on it, then if you have a licence somewhere on your computer then you could just borrow xp of somone you know and install that.Not sure about that but there's a ton of info on the net.

Here is just one.

Good luck...Ross, this is not a one eyed rant mate.... W2K rules!
Give it some thought.WOULD this method of copying a cd would boot form the startup to reinstall windows or formatt the comuter?thanks for the info guys,

Seems a bit complicated so i might not go though with it.

I suppose i could just KEEP both hard drives.
