Re: Need some geeky help

make yourself a bootdisk that can read and write NTFS
http://www.bootdisk.com/
have you created and formatted a partition on your new drive ?
if not the bootdisk you make should have the tools to do so.

once the drive is made ready for use you can boot of this disk and
copy your files across to the new drive. (Do you need to save any files
etc ? if not.. just dump the disk)

2k can boot of any partition whether on the primary or master, even
when the drive is on the secondary channel, possible you have an OEM
disk with routines that just barge ahead and install to a default
location, if not, just spend a little time on each screen as your
installing, you should get the option of creating partitions and also
which partition to install to (although you can create partitions with
NT, 2k and XP you can't format all those partitions till after the OS
is installed, if you can master the use of boot disks you can do all
this before you start your instalation)
