I have two Maxtor drives in my current PC, and one (80GB) in the new PC. While I'm waiting for my new Radeon 9800 Pro to arrive (first one is being returned as faulty) I've been trying a few installation scenarios.
What I plan to do is use the Maxtor "MaxBlast 3.6" software to copy the partitions from my existing PC drives onto the new 80GB drive, which I've partitioned. I'll then put that 80GB HDD in the new PC, and reinstall Windows. I've got W-Me for games like Aces High, and W2000 Pro for everything else. The W-Me should be a simple reinstall, but then there'll be all the usual updates - is there a Service Pack for W-Me? I'll then reinstall W2000P on the non-gaming partition, and then install SP4 for W2000P, SP1 for IE-6, plus any other updates. I had it working yesterday, but for W2000P there are two install modes, and I chose the wrong one.

At some point, it asks if you want a fresh install, or a repair to an existing installation. I think I should have chosen Repair - because the other choice resulted in the old installation (registry etc.) being cleared out, so I lost all my apps even though no data was lost.
BTW, I tried Bloom25's tips for copying the .CAB files down while installing W-Me - worked well. I also tried booting off the W2000P disk, but got "Error Loading OS". Had to go the 4xDiskette route.
Was an entertaining day yesterday, getting to know my new rig. The fun part was reading all the MS hype that comes up while installing W-Me.
"...like its predecessor, WMe brings the ability to run cutting edge technologies..."
