noooooo dont make me formt!!!!!
ive got 3 hdd's, ones 40gb which is my boot drive and its almost fulll. then theres my 120gb drive for storage, almost full aswell, then theres my new shiny 160gb which ive not managed to use yet.
i want to sell the 40gb drive and parition my 160gb into 2 parts, 50gb and 100gb.
then i want to clone my win2k install to my new 50gb partition and not break the install. the problem is that my new 160gb drive is an SATA one.
i didnt install my sata drivers with the windows install, so would windows be able to recognise the drive and boot from it?
what changs do i need to make?
also whats the best app (free and non free) for erasing a hdd properly (overwriting it so it cant be read)? and also copying my 40gb contents to 50gb partition?

No idea... but you could just do a quick format, then leave the machine to coppy 40Gig of non important rubbish onto it, before then leaving it again to do a non quick format.
