You can use an Upgrade version. You have three choices: 1. Upgrade to Vista on the old drive, then clone it to the new one. 2. Clone the old drive to the new one, then do an upgrade to Vista. 3. Do a clean installation of XP on the new drive, then upgrade it to Vista. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
