Hi Jeff.

Since I've just bought a 250 GB drive, that's a very useful comment.

My XP discs are SP2, but the W2K is pre SP1!
No problem re downloading all the upgrades, but of course one would
need to start with a smaller hard drive & then transfer the operating
system to a new drive.
I believe that Norton Ghost exists for this purpose, is there any
other (cheaper / free) software out there that does the same job?

Ta again, David.
