Moving Contents of old HDD to another

My old HDD is about to leave this world. It has 98SE, Office, etc. etc. on it. I want to keep all of this. My new HDD has 98SE. How can I move the contents of the old HDD to the other and keep it all working? Old HDD is out of the box right now.

The quickest method would be to use a product like Norton Ghost. It transfers the contents of one drive to another exactly. Your new drive would have all the programs, data files, settings, and so forth that your old drive has.

Did you check to see if the new hard drive came with some software to copy over your old drive? If not go to the manufactors web page and see if they have something for download to copy your old drive.

Thanks both. I do have some software with the new drive. I think I can transfer with that after I put in the old HDD with the new. Thanks again.
