Sorry if this is a little off topic.

Planning on upgrading to a 200meg HD in near future.  Concerned about
migrating BOINC and preserving exisiting projects.  Have SETI and a large
chunk of Climate prediction running 50/50.  Figure I can wait on SETI to
finish up a WU, then just reload on the new HD, but climate predictor has
400 hours done, and 600 hours to go (did I mention it was a large chunk of
data?) and I'd hate to have to start it over.  Any suggestion on a
migration
path that would preserve the existing work?

TIA
FIF



Use something like Norton's Ghost to copy the primary partition (C drive)
onto the new disk, then just make the new drive the master drive. Use Google
for more info.
