Dear all,

I currently have an old machine running SuSE 8.1 and Samba (as installed out of 
the box) setup and working as a windows domain for a set of WinXP SP2 machines. 
Everything is working just splendid except that I am Running out of space on it 
because it has a 40GB drive.

Recently I have been instructed to switch the machine's hard-disk with a brand 
new one which will be ofcourse larger in size to the 40GB capacity that the 
current one is. I am also thinking of reinstalling a fresh and brand-new 
installation of SuSE's latest version with the samba that comes with it.

My question is how will I go about doing such a "switch" in order for the 
computers of the network NOT to undergo re-joining of Windows domain etc and to 
transfer all the files and users one-to-one to the new machine?

The end of the task is for the users to switch on their WinXP computers and 
realize NO change at all, find their files in their homes directories etc, with 
the exception that their network space has increased.

Any good suggestions?

Chris
