| xcopy x:\* y:\ /H /O /T /S /E /R /V
| will copy the whole content of an drive to the other.
| Be sure thet the copy will have the same drive letter the original had and it
| will boot as if it were installed on. That means: if you tries to replace the
| old physical drive then you would do the following steps:
|  
| 1. dismount the old master and mount the new drive as master
| 2. boot from floppy/cd to commandline
| 3. do the partitoning of the new drive as needed to boot from
|    with LVM you would move to drive letters on the old drive to something 
else
|    and then partitoning/volumeing the new drive to have the known drive
| letters there
| 4. formatting
| 5. xcopy anything from the old to the new drive as above
| 6. unmount the old drive
| 7. boot up.

How do I copy (or install) the BOOT MANAGER partition from the old drive
to the new drive?  Is it as simple as marking a partition on the new drive
as BOOT MANAGER in FDISK?
