- When I did this, I made the new drive the master and the old drive the slave.
-
- I re-installed OS/2 into a new C: partition on the new master drive. I then
- used Xcopy to copy all the other partitions. It worked fine....though none of
- them were bootable.
-
- I woul recommend that you re-install the DOS and OS/2 partitions to your new
- drive. This will ensure that your new drive letters for these partitions -
- *especially* the OS/2 system partition! - will remain the same. DOS doesn't
- matter so much.
-
- Then just xcopy your files to whereever you want them.
