Re:Ghost the 6.4 to the 80, then use a partitioning program like Partition Magic, or Acronis, or 7Tools to convert it to ntfs. 7tools would actually handle the copying of the partition also.

Everything You Need to Know About Windows
Re:IMHO, you are much better off just doing a fresh install onto the 80gb drive. Sure the other products work but fresh installs just seem to work better for me.

Re:Well, the only reason I still have the 6.4 in there is because it's always had my boot files on it. It's from an older machine I used to have. I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago if I could have.
How To Use Windows 7 Quick and Easy Guide
Re:Why would that screw up the boot files? It doesn't matter if you had nine different filesystems on 9 different disks. As long as the OS can read the file system (Windows 2000 can see Fat, Fat32, and NTFS) it doesn't matter what file system is on what disk.
I understand you are leary about all this, but a High end P4 rig with a 6.4GB drive isn't exactly a high end p4 rig. Know what i mean?

Re:Yeah, but if the boot files for windows 2000 are on the FAT file system on the 6.4, and I convert that drive to NTFS, won't that screw up the boot files? That's what I'm leary about. I don't want to end up with a non-bootable high-end P4 rig.

Re:So convert the 6.4GB to NTFS!
You will need at least 200MB of free space on the 6.4GB to do this.
Open a command prompt and type the following:
convert X: /fs:ntfs (X being the drive letter of your 6.4 drive)
You will have to reboot and the conversion will take place befor the OS starts up. Depending on how fragmented and how much data you have on the 6.4 will determine how long it will take. I say 1/2 hour max if its really jammed.
Then do your disk clone.
Warning: you will not be able to boot up and get into the file system with a DOS boot disk after you convert to NTFS. You will need to use the Windows 2000 CD to boot up if you have to troubleshoot system files.

Re:Ok, but I don't want my 80gb drive to be formatted FAT, like the 6.4gb is.

Re:Use Norton Ghost or Drive Image to clone your 6.4GB drove to your 80GB drive. Any bestbuy or Compusa will have these programs.
What happens is, the image of the 6.4 GB drive (every single bit) is duplicated to your 80GB drive. Your computer will never know the difference except for maybe 1 reboot for detecting new hardware. but thats it.
