Upgrade Hard Drive

I need to upgrade my hard disk from 8gb to 16gb.
I thought it would be easy using Ghost or PQMagic.
Neither one will copy the EISA Partition.
In addition there are issues with W2K Dynamic Disk.
1)How do I set up the EISA Partition on a new disk?
2)Any suggestions on copying Dynamic Disk Partitions?

Thanks
Brian

Re: Upgrade Hard Drive

1) to set up the eisa partion on a new disk that disk MUST be blank and unformatted/unconmfigured...download the system configuration utility and boot off the diskette this creates..choose install option...once done the eisa partition is on the drive..then you can create new partitions on the drives and install the OS and then restore data from the old drives via backup...you will not be able to use ghost or pq magic for this purpose as they will overwrite the eisa partition
