Come on Chaps, who can help Harry ?.![]()
I have purchased a new Maxtor Hd. 80G.
To replace my Maxtor 20Gb.
Once I have removed the 20Gb. And fitted the 80Gb.
Can anyone possibly talk me through what I do next, do I need
A BootDisk for XP. Pro. ?.
I would really appreciate it if someone can help me up to the point of installing my personal files.
The trouble is, my memory banks are going due to age I need
some help please, it happens to us all.
I think I would like to partition the new drive and install my system on a free 10Gb. as it would then be there if ever I wanted
to do a format on the working 70Gb. remaing.
I think thats the general idea if you know what i mean, as I'm
sure I don't ? .![]()
Thanking anyone who can help.

Definitely use NTFS though, if using FAT32 (dual booting?) then use 8GB (or 16GB) instead of 10GB for the first partn to avoid the cluster size doubling. NTFS is much better and it is best to use this for the second large partn, with FAT32 keep it to 32GB max, but even that's still a bit clunky and very wasteful. Only Win2000 & XP can really handle modern NTFS, use FAT32 if you want to be able to access files via a bootdisk or from another OS.
