Question XP Backup
Does anyone know if you can use XP's backup utility to switch hard drives? Time to replace the old 10gb HD to a shiny new 60gb. If that won't work please suggest an app that could do that.

No, that won't do it. If you want to install a new hd and have it run just as the old one did right away (without having to reinstall everything) you need an imaging program such as Norton Ghost or Drive Image.

I strongly recommend using a utility like Norton Ghost and not Windows backup
