I've also used the Ultimate boot CD, but found that it lacked SATA
capability. I then found one called "Hiren's Boot CD" which also has a mini
XP environment, all of the tools required, and has SATA capability. HTH.

I'm a big fan of Gparted for projects like this. You can very easily and
quickly resize that second partition to be smaller, then resize the first
partition to be larger. One boot and you can do it all from there.
A (we need a bigger hammer) approach is the Windows Ultimate Boot CD, which
is a c
I use Hiren's quite a bit for the hardware testing tools. Some are
outdated, but those of us 'resurrecting' older systems can still find
those tools useful.

SystemRescueCD gets my vote too.
Gparted is available on its own CD...

the same time.

Here is a "me, too" story to add to the archives.
I bought a Dell Mini 10 with XP Home installed on a 160gb drive. I spent
quite a while installing apps, data, music, etc. and found myself running
out of space.
I purchased a new 500gb sata drive so I could move all the data from the

Howard,
For a parallel situation in linux, I fixed it by moving most of the
user's files to the second partition and symlinking to it from his
homedir. It was transparent to the user, made use of the big empty
partition, and was dead simple. It seems like you ought to be able to

Howard-san,
I have several of the KingWin hard drive adapters if you would like to
borrow one. Depending on the age of the system and ability to juggle, it
might help to have the IDE/SATA --> USB link. Just offering, no biggie.

SystemRescueCD is your friend, Howard.
Very light weight and has both command line and lightweight X utils

There are two points to this post: the "footprint" of the live disk
