My C drive (with my operating system) is too small and only has a couple hundred megs left...anyone know how I can ghost it over to another drive?

Is this too obvious: Buy Ghost 2005?

Of course, you'll need a new hard drive too, but it's a pretty basic operation... and Ghost will handle making a larger partion for you, or splitting the new drive into partitions, one fot he OS, one for Data, etc.

Every replacement harddrive I've ever installed comes with software to duplicate your old drive and then make itself the primary drive. If you already have the drive and no software google "hard drive replacement software" and look through those.

This covers it, too.

Bornyo's article is excellent, just don't go by their hardware recommendations since the article is 5 years old, and there have been lots of improvements in drive technology since then. (SATA v UltraATA, etc.)

I'm getting ready to install a 2nd HD (80GB) (as soon as I can figure out how to do it). Dell sent me the HD and a cable-no directions.
I didn't know I had to do anything to the HD. How will it show up on my computer?
What I have now--
A-floppy
C-local disk (HD) 20GB
D-Zip drive
E-DVD drive
F-CD-RW drive

I want to use the new HD for data storage. Do I need a Ghost program? How do I transfer the data from my existing HD?

You don't need Ghost unless you plan on copying the operating system as well.

By default, your new drive will show up as G: drive, since C: through F: are already taken.

There are various steps you'll need to take to install the drive, but first, is it an IDE drive?

Assuming it is, click me.
