How do I transfer everything from small drive to a larger one?

How do I transfer EVERYTHING from the old HD to the new HD? Everything means Win2k OS, software, driver. Basically, I want to run from the new drive from now on and use the old drive as back up.

Both are SCSI drive.

It would be great if you could guide me step by step.

Thanks million!

EDIT:

One more thing, is it possible to install WinME on the new drive and have the computer perform duel boot? So I don't have to mess with the old drive?
The result I want is something like this: WinME on new drive and Win2k on old drive. Everytime I boot up it will ask which OS do I want to use. Posslble?

Please Please let me know!

Anyway, I got the ghost but don't want to mess with it... yet! 😉
 
Like spanky replied Norton Ghost is a great program, but from my perspective I would rather format and install everything fresh. Your old hd could be infected with a virus or have some problems with the previous installation of win2k, and a fresh install never hurts =P but thats my opinion
 
If you are going to buy, I would get Drive Image instead of Ghost.

Ghost is a great tool but can be kind of cryptic to use all the command switches. It also (despite what they would like you to believe) does not fully support NTFS. You might as well have a version that works fully with 2K/XP in case of a computer or OS upgrade in the future.

Yep. You would have to install a program on the 1st drive that would let ya switch ( if you were doing this the other way, with Me installed first,t hen 2000 would give youthe option of the dual boot, but Me has no such program AFAIK.

So that mean I'm not able to use the Win2K w/o a fresh install for the duel boot? I really don't wanna lose any info on the Win2k...
