Hi,
I have a 40 GB HD in my laptop and have just bought a 160.
I have already done a True Image of my C drive with XP on it and placed it on
my external F drive.
Now I want to take my current C Drive out and replace it with the F Drive
160GB but need to have my XP up and running on it.
How do I do this?
Thanks

If you purchased ATI and have an install disk, you can boot up with the disk
in the drive without having an OS on the drive. ATI will load into memory from
the disk when you select it and you can then run the restore as long as both
internal/external drives are seen by ATI.
If you purchased it online and do not have a bootable disk, open ATI and
select to create bootable recovery media. During the creation wizard you will
be presented with if available, different media where to create the bootable
recovery media. Select your CD/DVD RW and continue following the prompts. Once
created, reboot with the disk in the drive.
If it doesn't boot to the disk, enter your BIOS and set the CD/DVD drive as
the first disk to boot from. Take note that it is the Bootable Recovery Media
you want, not the Secure Zone or Recovery Manager.
