1.	Solve : upgrading hard drive?
Answer» I need to replace my c drive as it is getting a BIT OLD, I have an expansion drive, but really need something new and a bit bigger than the 10GB. The mechanics I am OK with, but I am unsure about getting the new drive to WORK with my computer. Do I need to back up to my expansion drive, then physically replace my old drive install the new, then boot up from expansion drive. Not quiet sure could someone help me? regards smurfsboy.You have a couple of choices. You can clone your drive or create an IMAGE (using disk imaging software). Then remove the drive, install the new one, and boot to the disc you created and restore the image to the new drive. Alternatively, you can back up critical data to the external drive, install the new drive and start from scratch (install the OS and then COPY the data back from the external drive).
