Ok...I have my Windows on my slave drive right now...I need to copy it exactly to my other hard drive...but everytime i try,my 120GB gets partitioned down to 18GB.....is there any way to do it directly from DOS or something to keep my big hard drive big and copy EVERY file over?

Couldn't you just resize it with partition magic?

FIXMBR is fix master boot record, if you can still boot up your computer, don't touch this!

I think your stuck with the slow painful process of burning to a CD-RW, and then copying from that.

But if you can get partiton magic, then youre set
