Cloning C: in Win98 ....

I am trying to help a friend upsize her C: drive without reinstalling the O/S
(98SE) or applications. Is there any freeware (or non-crippled trialware) that
will accomplish this for us?

TIA

This product will do what you want.

yep, it certainly did. I found it a couple of hours back and followed their
instructions. Took a fair while to copy ~6G across. New drive is now
percolating like the old system should have - I suspect it was choking on the
swap file, as flicking between tabs in FF or hitting a new link could take
several MINUTES to stop thrashing the previous drive.

She is now one happy camper. Tnx

This is why XXCOPY has so many switches such as
/X that let the user exclude a named file (or files in
a list.) Documentation for XXCOPY is extensive
because this excellent utility offers so many options.

Glad you got it !

I am always amazed at how good a lot of the free ware is.

AFAIK, every TeraByte Unlimited product has a thirty-day free trial. I am
CERTAIN that BootIt NG can be installed and run with no limits for thirty
days. Nicely enough, you can do a LOT of things using it's tools, including
Image for DOS, for free, with no limits, FOREVER! Does that count as
"freeware"?

Hi Philo,

Good utility, although I'm pretty sure it must be run in a DOS
Window ( command line ) and not in real DOS or it won't copy hidden
and long name files. ??

Thanks for reminding us about xxcopy.
