I have a 75 GB Western Digital Hard Drive as my primary HD, on which I've installed Windows XP. I recently bought a 100 GB Maxtor hard drive, which I'd like to use as my primary hard drive, if I can clone the old onto the new.

The Maxtor came with a "Maxblast" CD that I can boot from and attempt a "Drive to Drive" copy. However, at around 15% into the process, the copy stops with a message indicating that some files from the source drive could not be read/copied and suggested that I run defragmenter & scandisk. I ran both (Scandisk reported NO problems) and retried the copy but get the same message.

My computer doesn't have a floppy, which rules out using the Western Digital software (I've had success with that in the past). Any suggestions on how I can clone my old drive into the new Maxtor drive?

Thanks.
