Pata To Pata

(Excuse my poor english, I'm not an english speaker)

If I make an image to DVD of my boot hard disk (PATA) and change it for another hard disk (also PATA but different size) in the same system. Could I use the DVDs and rescue CD to make and exact image of the old hard disk in the new one WITHOUT USE SYSPREP? In others words: it's necessary to use Sysprep when I'm going only to change the hard disk? Thank you very much in advance and one more time: excuse my english.

 

Not at all, you can change hard drives without an issue, I did so yesterday, went from a Maxtor 40GB to a Seagate 80GB on my Uncles computer.

Cheers
