Re: Backup Question > Would this work?
Partitions are unimportant as long as you have enough space. A lot of factors should be considered before you do that. It's a lot easier with W2K than it is with XP. The main problem is that immediately after the transfer and boot up, you'll have to Activate your version of XP again because it recognizes the changes in the hardware and it won't let you do anything (including tweaking of the drivers) unless you activate.
Now if you have a lot of driver conflicts, then you may not even be able to activate and unless you activate, you can't fix the driver problems.
The other major problem is that you want to transfer a PC to a laptop. In most cases, you'll have problems with your video drivers and the display. If you can't see anything, you can't activate and you can't fix the drivers, etc...
It's a lot easier with W2K and I have done it several times but never from a PC to a laptop. It's just too much trouble.
