Guest lca1630 Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I have been tasked to replace one of our users old 250 GB hard drives with 750 GB hard drives. We use a built in raid controller in our dell boxes. I was thinking a good solution would be to image his hard drive, break the raid 1 array, reimage the first hard drive, and then add the second and rebuild the array. My question is how will I handle the partion sizes and overall size increase of the hard drive. Will the extra space be just extra space that Ican format later, has anyone done this before? Thanks
Guest DL Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: Reimaging after replacing hard drives An imaging app such as Acronis has the ability to 'expand' the image to the destination drive size. Been there, done it, got the badge "lca1630" <lca1630@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B0B4A208-4075-40D2-B4E9-FDC0E310CA79@microsoft.com... >I have been tasked to replace one of our users old 250 GB hard drives with > 750 GB hard drives.
