Hello,
I would like to change the hard drive of my laptop without having to reinstall the operating system and all the software I already use. My question is whether it is possible to transfer the content of the currently installed disk (which has 2 partitions) to the new one, which has a larger capacity. If so, how can I do that?
Thank you for your answers.
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.3

    Hi just to say that I finally found the solution. First, I had to activate the remaining disk space, then with Partition Suite resize the other partitions. It's really simple and doesn't take much time.

    Hello, it's me again; I finally changed the disk after making a copy of Vista onto the new HDD with HDClone. Everything is perfect but the only problem is that I still have the same sizes for the 2 partitions that were on the old disk (which is 80GB) whereas the new one I've installed is 250GB. What should I do to use the remaining space?
    Thank you in advance for your replies.
