I found a solution to my problem. I kept my new 160gb hard drive completely unpartitioned. I used Partitionmagic 8 and did a copy partition on my c:\ drive, then on my d:\ drive. It copied the partitions exactly (including size). I then changed the boot.ini, and both OS's started perfectly. I then used Partitionmagic to create 2 additional 40gb partitions that I will use for backup purposes. I highly recommend Partitonmagic 8.

My system currently has 2 40gb hard drives that I use to dual-boot. Drive C:\ is Windows 98 and drive D:\ is Windows XP Pro. I bought a 160GB drive, made 4 40GB partitions, and copied the first drive to partition C:\ and the 2nd drive to partition D:\. After changing the boot.ini file, I can boot to Windows 98, but get this error when booting to XP: "A Problem is Preventing Windows from Accurately Checking the License for this Computer - 0x80090006". Is there a way to avoid this problem, possibly by using Norton Ghost or PartitionMagic 8? I did not use those programs originally to copy the files. Or am I just going to have to use the Microsoft way of fixing this problem and reinstall XP? Any help would be appreciated.
