You should not need to partition or format the new drive, the cloning software will do that at the same time. What motherboard? Check in BIOS how SATA is handled. Latest motherboards can make SATA look like PATA for Windows. RTFM for your motherboard. Mike.

Does the drive show in Disk Management? Does the cloning software see the new drive? If yes, just clone to it, but do NOT boot with the original drive connected after cloning. Boot with just the new drive connected or WinXP will get confused. Mike.
