Our XP Home SP2 was upgraded from Win 98 on a FAT32 disk.
We've added a much bigger HD formatted NTFS and have just started using it
for some data files, but it runs so much faster that it would make better
sense to move the entire XP Home installation & program/data files to the new
drive, reformat the old as NTFS and use it for spare. We have enough
removable storage to put everything back on the original small drive before
beginning work on the new large drive.
When I search documentation under 'migrate' I only see information about
moving to entire new computers. And if I use a disk mirror program I'm afraid
it'll preserve the older drive's FAT32 which would defeat the purpose. I want
to migrate the installation but benefit from the faster NTFS format.
Pointers to documentation would be appreciated.
