I got a new hard drive, and figured that a quick install of W2K on a third drive would allow me to just straight up copy the old drive to the new drive. This hasn't been the case at all, as it tells me that certain files are in use (can't possibly be true), or that it can't find a certain folder...after it's already started to copy it. This is making no sense, and I'm beyond frustrated with it. This was supposed to be easy. It isn't. How in the world do I do a straight up copy of EVERYTHING from one drive to another? Or, even just a couple of folders (Windows and related directories) that aren't in use.

Thanks.
