Buy a 120 GB HD and do a clean format of this one leaving the 60 GB

Efbo, thank you for the suggestion. It's good. I could set up FAT
and FAT32 and Ext2 partitions as I wished. How would I transfer the
raw-XP files from the inbuilt 60GB drive onto a FAT32 partition on the
120GB drive? And would XP install from there or would the install
fail some compatibility check?
