[QUOTE="DataCabbitKSW, post: 816001, member: 28028"] You could use products like Ghost, or tools under linux like DD if you know how to use it in order to copy the partitions from the old disks to the new ones (do all of this from a LiveCD, so no OS is active). You will probably need to then run startup repair for Windows XP, then for Windows 7, then for linux (unless you feel like getting easyBCD running under Windows 7 and fxing all the bootloader fun chaining BCD Loader (Windows Vista and Windows 7) to NTLdr (Windows XP) or whatever bootloader you use for Linux (likely GRUB or LiLo). You could give the question a go over on the official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here [url=http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5]Windows 7 Category[/url] . They are pretty quick to respond and are usually fairly on the ball. Also, you are fine having your secondary OS run from another drive. Just clone your existing 160GB with XP to the 500GB drive and extend its partition to fill it. Then you could clone the 40 to the old 160, extend their partitions and leave it be. Just make sure all the bootloaders play nice. That is the one tricky point of having multiple OS. Space and bootloader issues. [/QUOTE]
