copying hardrive to hardrive

[bighogjeep]

i sent in a bad harddrive in the meantime i got bored and put on a old hardrive. new load of windows and all the drivers which took 6 hrs to download off the net. Can i set up new HD slave and copy this new load of windows and drivers to to it from old HD? if so what do i need to know?
thanks

I would set the new drive as master. Install windows. then pull all the drivers off of the old hard drive. That way, you know you have a clean install.

Ever tried Norton Ghost? Works great to do this. Will make a carbon copy of your old to new drive. Then just swap drives.
