Hi, I have a question about changing hard drives. I have an 5 yr old emachine that I can't afford to replace right now, it has really hung on well but the 20GB drive that I put in it 5 years ago is making a big, tired grinding noise. It sounds like it's going to conk out any second. I have everything just how I want it on the drive right now, so I'd like to see what advice I could get about moving the old drive's contents onto a new drive. I do have a CD burner on the machine, but I know these things can be quite tricky. I should also mention that I am running windows 98 (and prefer not to change operating systems).

many thanks for any input!
 
Also RANISH.COM. It wiil allow you to do a trial run so you understand what is going on before you trash your info.
 
In concuring with what per posted..
you can also use the the utillity wizard that came with your new drive. It should have a transfer wizard to transfer everything over to the new drive..If it did not come with one look at the web site and look for utillity downloads.
