If you just dd the old disk to the new one then re-size the partition after wards MS won't know any different.I am about to rebuild a PC with 2 new HDD's for somebody, who has sampled and been delighted with Linux (repeat, "delighted with Linux"), but needs to retain, very occasional, access to XP as well. The machine has XP (OEM version) installed on a single aging HDD which is fairly small and reformatting it into 2 partitions would be impracticable. In any case I prefer to construct dual boot systems using separate disks. Does anyone know if MS will reject my attempt to re-activate an OEM version of XP on the new master disk, all other components remaining unchanged? TIA -- W. Devon ------------ A GNU/Linux user
