How to move a hard drive?
I bought a new 80gb HD to replace my 30gb and I want to copy over the entire
partition and data. What will I need to do this? Partition Magic? Thanks

Bearman Exactly, the HDD manufacturers offer this software for download if it didn't come with the drive. Partition Magic won't copy it but Drivecopy or DriveImage, Ghost, etc, would... but why buy those for only a single copy?
