Copying Your Entire Hard Drive To A New Disk Drive...


You will need a boot disk.
1) Install your new, blank hard drive as a slave.
2) Format the new hard drive (using FDISK and FORMAT).
3) exit to DOS then, type the following command:


XCOPY C:\*.* D:\*.* /s/c/h/e/r/k
Notes: If you get a "switch not recognized" error, you're doing it wrong.
To find out what these switches do, type xcopy /? from a DOS WINDOW INSIDE WINDOWS95. This command assumes that your new hard drive was assigned the letter D:\. Choose "yes" when asked to overwrite any files.
4) When copying is finished, turn off the computer, open it up, and reconfigure so that the new hard drive is the Primary Master drive.
5) Boot to the Win95 startup disk. Using FDISK, you must set the Primary Partition on the new drive as Active, in order for it to be bootable.
6) Eject the Startup disk and reboot. If Windows95 does not boot from the hard drive, put the startup disk back in and boot to it. At the A:\ prompt,
type:

SYS C:

This will recopy the system files to the new hard drive.
7) Reboot to the hard drive. It should boot to Windows95.
