Hi,

I have Vista Home Premium x64 running on a 80Gig Hdd, I need to
transfer the O/S to a 320Gig SATA Hdd.
The SATA Hdd shows in Disk Management as Unallocated, but Disk
Management does not allow me to assign a drive letter to the harddrive.
I have Norton Gost installed, but without a drive letter I cannot
perform the cloning.

Guys..........I really need help on this one as my 80Gig harddrive is
allmost 90% full.

Thanks.........

Hi,
In order to assign a drive letter, the drive must be formated. You can do
this in disk management. Right click on the drive.

Of course you are right. I must have been asleep.

Paul, I have been having problems seeing a few of my replies (I am using
WinMail). This is one of them. That is it is obvious that you can see my
reply (you quote it) but I can't. Any idea why? I realize that you are not
using WinMail.

And I can see my comment now, but still cannot see the reply you quoted.
Looking at the thread in Google groups I cannot see the reply you quoted
either. Puzzling.
