I installed 160 GB SATA Seagate on computer running
system XP, but every time I tried to use Seagate software
to move all files to the new one, Windows XP is just
block and prevent Seagate software or even Maxtor
software to perform. Could you help me, please.
Thank you,
Yuung.

Doesn't the software state to boot from its disk or a boot diskette?
 
Hi, if you are trying to transfers a OS such as XP over to another actually
within itself you will find it is blocked because it has files that are open
and in use. As Shenan has stated, you'll need to use it in a pure dos mode,
however you still ,might run in problems if you are using NTFS. I'm not
familiar with those disc imaging programs so I can't be sure if they are
capable of reading those HD formatted in that way.....
