I have a 120 gig drive that has begun whinning and I suspect a bearing
problem. I've bought a new 160 gig and want to install it. I'm using
winxp pro. I've successfully transferrred the operating system under
win95 using dos. Is this possible under xp? If so how?

Or, do I need a third party program to do this? Which is best?

An urgent reply is requested as I am afraid to start the computer for
fear that the drive will give out.
 
Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your new hard drive
and search for a free drive copy utility program. Most hard drive
manufacturers have one available for download, along with detailed
instructions.
