• Back up your files. Even with the new software, it is easy to permanently erase your data by accident. • Make sure the copy-to drive is installed, formatted, and ready-to-go. • Install software such as Norton Ghost on the copy-from drive. • Run the software and find the “copy drive” feature. Follow on-screen steps • If upgrading to a new computer, install the freshly copied hard drive in the new computer. • Once the operation is complete, turn your computer off and replace the drives completely. It’s easy to make mistakes, so physically remove the original drive from your work area. • Turn on the system. The new drive should be detected automatically. If not, go into the BIOS to detect it. You may have to re-activate Windows XP. Just call Microsoft and get a new reactivation key.
