    Copying WinXP to different HDD, use fixmbr?

    Probably, but useful to know how do to, imo. LS, thank you! I'll give it a shot soon. What should i do if i hit a bump and need to go back to the original HDD? Besides changing the bios boot order back, do i need to reverse the registry edits? how do i do that outside that OS? EDIT...

    Copying WinXP to different HDD, use fixmbr?

    Which is better: DVD-RW or DVD+RW?

    I got the Panasonic LF-D311SC for $295 at Newegg.com recently, and i've used my friend's Pioneer A03 in the past. Just wanna make some comments. My panasonic unit writes at 1x, ~60min to do the 4.7GB. The Pioneer writes 2x, ~25-30 min to do 4.7GB. I think this speed i very comparable to CDR...
