I was going to suggest you use Acronis Disk Director to copy the
entire disk to some storage location but found that the version I
have (10.0) does not support dynamic disks. You probably have to
do this:
- Using ntbackup, back up both partitions, including the System State.
- Install the new disks.
- Install an auxiliary copy of Windows in a folder other than c:\Windows.
- Using ntbackup, restore both partitions.
To speed things up I would probably use a large IDE disk as
a target for ntbackup.exe.
