Recovering Windows XP Home OS after drive replacement
Info: Windows XP Home, TI home 2009, Dell Dimension 3000.
I am replacing my 80GB OEM drive with a 320GB OEM drive. I have cloned my OS, programs, data, and Ubuntu 9.04 (Linux) partitions to an external USB drive. I am attempting to cover all may bases in performing the task.
After I install the new drive, if my TI recovery media gives me a problem and I have to resort to the Dell Dimension 3000 recovery CD which restores my computer to it's original configuration and it loads properly, can I then go into TI and clone the previous information i.e. OS, programs, etc. that was put on the external USB drive to the C drive effectively overwriting the original Dell Dimension 3000 programs? Thus giving me everything I have added subsequent to the original configuration.
Thanks,
Roger
