John, If you Ghost the drive, you can always use something like Partition Magic to resize the partition after dropping the image onto the new drive.

It had more until yesterday, when he tried to install Access and Outlook. The installs failed due to lack of space and wouldn't even uninstall. He has just plain deleted the directories to get back up to 80mb. Obviously this is bad - Windows doesn't like the C: drive to have no room. My question is, is it possible to go get a much larger hard disk, and then somehow transfer the entire contents of the C: drive onto the new drive such that it can be dropped in as the C: drive and yet still be larger and have the extra room available? My understanding of the imaging programs (Ghost and the like) is that they create an exact image of the original which would simply create a small partition on the larger drive.
