I have a 12 gig drive that's almost full, so I ordered an 80 gig one from western digital.
I've been using symantec ghost to do my backups to CD's.
My question is, doesn't ghost copy the partition information as well? So if I pop in the 80 gig drive and then run ghost to load all of my stuff onto it, will windows still only see 12 gigs of the drive? (There's no info in the ghost help docs concerning this)

What's the best way to upgrade the HD and not lose any data?

BTW, I'm running windows 2000 in case that matters.
