   you might be able to go the old hotserv way if you hurry...   
      
   add the new drive and boot off of emergency OS/2 boot diskettes... then   
      
   XCOPY /H/O/T/S/E/R/V c: x:   
      
   that'll copy everything over... i believe the only other thing you need to do   
   after that is to put the system on the new drive with the sysinst command... i   
   think i got that right...   
      
    BS>       Anything to avoid complete rebuilding of the OS/2 system  on   
    BS> a new drive.  :)   
      
   you might also try DFSEE and clone the partition to the new drive... i did   
   this recently but my boot drive was not bootable so i was mainly after my data   
   drives... i used the trial version booting off floppy and saved some 80G of   
   stuff across four or five partitions... that is when i moved to eCS a few   
   months back on the main server box...
