I have a 30gb drive atm split into two. One part is 10gb for windows only, the other is 18gb for misc stuff.

I want a new c: drive for windows and storage. I will be partitionining the new 320gb hdd for windows only partition and the rest is misc.

So can someone help with what i should do when i get the new hdd. I want the new hdd to be the same drive letter (c:) as i dont want to reinstall windows on it. So as i said whats the best way to clone c: to another drive i want named as c: (c: at least for the new drives window partition).
 
Will it keep the drive letters the same. As im worried if i move the windows partition onto a diff lettered drive you see it wont work or things will go weird.

I have used norton in the past but that was years and years ago. And that was never a hdd to hdd clone, but a hdd to cd clone.
 
Cool, will look more into it.

So basically all i would do is get the new hdd, install it along side the curerent hdds. Install and run this prg you mention. It will copy C: to new a new C: on the new hdd. Once done i can remove my 30gb drive and be left with my new 320gb drive as c: and then theres the 200gb maxtor i have for storage left.

If so sounds good. :)
