[AccessD] Replacing the C: drive on a server

Ghost also has problem with laptop drive images.  It works fine to
drives in the same machine, but not between a laptop and an external
drive.

Temp and Tmp (usually they're the same directory) could also be taking
up a lot of space. They can be emptied and/or moved to another drive.

I've seen Ghost used to move the files on a single C: drive on W2000.
The tech had a lot of trouble as Ghost wasn't easy to configure for SCSI
disks with NTFS. If you can get it to work for a copy to a single drive,
I'd think it should work the same way for another disk to be the
mirrored pair.

|To get more space, put another drive in, and move the swap
|file to it.  That is probably taking a LARGE chunk of space up.

|My client as a Windows NT 4x Server with a C: drive down to
|80mb free.  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.
|
|The next issue is that the drive is mirrored.  Is there any
|way to just add two disks and "expand" the existing partition 
|to span the new disks?
