Upgrading MB, Graphics Card & HD

Hi all,

I'm new to the board & I'm hoping someone can help me.

Questions...

First...

I'm running Win 2000 Prof.

When I install the new MB, do I have to erase the HD & reinstall Win or can I just reinstall it on top of what's already there b/c of the new MB?

I was told I have to reinstall windows if I'm on 2000 & someone else told me I don't.

Second question...

I also got a new HD & I want to transfer the info onto the new HD.

Some people say use a utility program (any really good free ones around?) & others say to ghost it would take way too long, just transfer the Programs & leave the data on the already existing HD.

I really didn't want 4 different names. I just wanted C & D.

Any advice from experts? It would be much appreciated.

Please contact me asap as I might have to do this tomorrow.


Thanks so much & I hope everyone is having a great wknd. & Mother's Day !


Michelle :)
