Migrate boot disk, XP, same computer

[teach1st]

I have an older disk C, which boots to XP Home. I have a newer disk H, my data disk.

What's the least expensive -- or the easiest -- way to move XP and settings (and Program Files folder if possible) to my second HD so that it becomes the boot disk?

1. Here are a couple of options

If you know your HDD manufacturer there are free downloads for just that purpose. Here are a couple:
Maxtor: http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/menuitem.3c67e325e0a6b1f6294198b091346068/?channelpath=/en_us/Support/Software%20Downloads/ATA%20Hard%20Drives&downloadID=58

Western Digital:http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n&pid=999&swid=1

I have used the WD software and found it to be very easy and run within Windoze!
Hope this helps.

2. Thanks, landdaddy

Those don't match my HDs, but I'm off to see if my manufacturers have similar programs.

3. I think these will work with any manufacturer's HD

I have used the Western Digital software on other hard drives.
