WinXP to Win2K/XP Dual boot.........transferring XP??

[oosik]

Can I transfer my present WinXP on a scsi 10GB partition to an IDE 10GB partition? This is after my win2k install on the first ide partition.

I'm trying to avoid doing a fresh XP install, though it would probably be best, just trying to find the easiest route. Can I just transfer everything from the old WinXP partition to the new one or does it actually need the install process for it to work properly.

I guess I could image XP with Ghost and transfer it that way. In that case would I need to make the new XP partition the exact same size as the old XP partition?

Trying to get away from the long SP1 update process seeing as though it's updated already.

thanks!

Using Ghost is about the only way you are going to get that to work and even then it is doubtful without a lot of work. I doubt doing a clean install and redownloading the SP is going to take that much longer.

well then, I got my answer then. clean install it is.

just takes so long to everything to the way I like it though......
