I don't usually need advice on fixing computers, I've pretty much seen everything, but there's a first time for everything I guess.
Here's the skinny...
Some friends of my wife's family have this computer with a 2gb hard drive. It was full, so they compressed it. Now some funky stuff is happening with it, and I think it might be the drive starting to fail. I want to unload the 2gb onto an 8gb drive I have.
I put both drives in my computer on IDE2 and tried to copy all the contents of the 2gb onto the 8gb, but I can't copy the Windows directory, which I half expected anyway.
What's the best way to replicate an entire drive onto another? Ghost maybe? Keep in mind that it's compressed.
