I've got about 22 GB of data on my old drive. I was really hoping not to have to resort to DVDs to transfer things, since the burner is stuck on a 1.1 USB interface. Hey it's an old 2001 laptop, what can a guy expect?

My new HD is in fact an OEM upgrade, plus I live in China, even if the hard drive came with installationa software I would not be able to trust it. The drive came with drivers for Win98/ME and Mac OS, but that was it.

I think I'll just tempt fate and try to copy the entire C: drive to the new disk. Oh, and I have Alcohol 120% and Nero, both of which I think allow me to make back-up disks. Would either of those serve my purpose?
