Hi, I have a hard drive which is on its last legs. I also have new hard drive to replace the old one. I was wondering if it is possible to simply copy everything from the old drive to the new (after formating the new drive) and have my system back up and running, or do I need to reinstall the OS and everything else? Tips, URL's or a simple 'from personal experience, best to reinstall' comments more than welcome. Thanks for your time. -Tig
