Win2K Server HD Swap

[wallsfd949]

If I'm posting in the wrong place, let me know. I wanted to ask this here because of all the detail involved.

I am running a home webserver and so I must do this as efficiently and quickly as possible (as I don't have a backup server) and will be doing this at 3am.

My webserver is as follows:
PII 400 Mhz
512MB RAM
12 GB HD NTFS file system.
Software:
Windows 2000 Server
Helix Server Basic (Real Audio)
IIS 5 - host headders, 4 websites
DirectUpdate Client

I have a 40 GB HD that I will format to NTFS and I want to replace the 12 GB HD with the 40 GB HD.
What issues will I encouter,
what is the best software to use to accomplish this,
is there anything else I should consider before doing this?

I need to remove the 12GB so adding the 40GB as a slave will not work.

Thanks for the help

i think norton ghost will let you do that, but am not sure. if you make the 12 gig a ghost and the 40 the reciever, i think...

well you said you were going to remove the 12 gig, but couldn't you set up the 40 as slave while you copy the files over, and then remove the 12 gig?
