Does anyone know of an easy cloning method - so I dont have to modify all those horrible device ID's in menu.lst. Ideally I'd just like to insert the drive, go 'CLONE' and then take out the old drive et vouloir (for those of you that like correcting my french - veux doesn't quite make the pun work)Tom te tom te tomYou could have a look at CloneZilla, I believe it'll do a smaller drive to a bigger drive. It's about 100MB for the ISO. Otherwise I guess you could manually create partitions and copy the stuff over although I guess that'll be what you really want to avoid. Rob
