My main HD is partitioned into c: d: e: and f:. I recently bought a 400G
external. I'd like to reformat my 80G into one c: partition. How do I copy
everything onto the 400G and then back again onto the c:? Is there good software
that will do that for me? Thanks so much. Oh, I've just switched from ME to XP
Pro.

You are not likely to get an answer in this group since it is about
Microsoft Access the database program that is part of Microsoft office.

You may, however, get an answer in the group 24hoursupport.helpdesk

How did you installed the new 400G hard-disk? Which drive letter(s) have you
assigned for this new hard-disk?

Did you upgraded Windows from ME to XP Professional or you installed XP
Professional over the old ME?

Are you using multiple boots?

Copy back and forth may render the boot partition inoperable ...
