How to copy data (clone) from one partition to another in Windows XP?
- by Martin
I have installed a new hard drive in our PC running Windows XP and I wonder how to transfer the data from the old (small) data partition to the new (large) one.
My question concerns only a data partition containing files and folders (not the boot partition with the Operating System files!)
Is it ok to just copy the folders in the Windows XP Explorer to the new partition?
Could anything be lost this way (hidden folders, metadata, ..)?
What is the best way to clone a data partition in Windows XP?
