Any advice on the best way to clone a partioned drive onto a new drive without a partition?  I have an 80 gig drive partioned to a c/d with FS2004 on the d drive.  I just got a WD 320 gig drive and would like to clone the old drive to it without the partition.  Can this be done?  Thanks, Todd

OK
lets see if i got it right?
You have a WD 320 gb and you want to do what?
I guess what you want, its to make an image of your 80gb and put it on your WD320?
IF you use a image program you can.
But let me ask you this.Are you concern about your fs or your OS?
If i is your fs, save your fs.cfg , but you need to know what is inside of it.Then when you instal all you just paste you fs.cfg and all will be the same.Or you want to save your OS settings, so you can have what you have now?
Pls tell me what is you idea.

Cheers

I would like to keep both the OS and FS if possible, but on a single partition.  I have a bunch of payware airplanes and scenery installed and dont want to reload all of that again.  My system is very stable so I dont want to reload the OS either.  Just wondering if can be done.

thanks, Todd

When cloning I get everything, as is, from the original but you'll have a bunch of 'unallocated' space if your new drive's a lot bigger.
