It looks like I am getting another external. I had a 'real' external, meaning not an internal drive in an external case. Unfortunately, it was smaller than the internal drive I want to pull to use as my C: drive.

I went to order the 1TB Seagate USB/Firewire/eSata external from Staples that was on sale for $99, but, big surprise, they were out of stock and no holds or rainchecks apply. They have it backordered and it may come in before the sale is off at the end of the week.

Assuming I can get a large external soon, I will need to plan out how I will image my C:/D: drive (D: is a small partition with restore software on it) onto a larger drive. I am rummaging through my disk tools. I know this has to be done in DOS since you cannot copy many Windows files while Windows is running.

This should be fun.
