my windows disk is chirping like a p plater in a vn, so i thought i'd pull it out and replace it with another hdd i have handy. the one being pulled out is 500gb, the one going in is 250gb, but the xp partition on both is 20gb.
i was just going to use a bootable linux usb stick i have and DD from one to the other. then i guess i'd have to mark it as bootable. the new disk will be on the same sata socket as the old one, and it should still show up as c:\.
are there any issues i'd run into with this, i just cbf'd finding new versions of all the apps i have installed.
