First, set up the hard disk you want to copy to as a second drive, Fdisk and format it appropriately then boot windows 9X. Select start, run and type the following command into the box and press enter xcopy32.exe c:\*.* d:\*.* /e /c /h /r /k /y. Note that this will overwrite everything on the second disk so make sure you haven't got anything important on it! After the disk copy is complete, you will need to make the partition active using fdisk. This procedure is useful if you are commissioning lots of identical machines i.e. set up the first machine and then make copies of its disk onto the disks in the other machines (obviously you will have to remove them to do so).

This will save system builders a lot of time, but please note that you will need to edit the registry and change the license numbers to the correct one for that machine otherwise all machines will have the same license number and would constitute as a license violation.
