ISP is road runner with time warner if that makes a difference. Thanks a lot for any assistance.

Does Windows Vista prevent you from "moving" you whole system to a bigger Hard Drive like Windows XP did? I know that Windows XP has got this funky drive dimension thing, where you can only replicate Windows XP from your current hard drive onto a hard drive with the exact same dimensions (i.e., the same exact hard drive model). I plan to buy a new computer with Windows Vista w/in the next month (will dual-boot with Fedora, to all you mumblers!), but unfortunately the hard drive that I want - Seagate with hardware encryption - doesn't get released for another 6-9+ months. When it comes out, I want to migrate my hard drive contents - Windows Vista and all, exactly how installed - from the OEM hard drive to this new Seagate Hard Drive. So, does Windows Vista allow me to switch to a bigger or different hard drive easily, unlike that stupid Windows XP constraint? Is it possible at all - like maybe some verification, program, etc? Or, do they make it impossible? Thanks!! Just to clarify, I did try using Norton Ghost on my old Hard Drive, and that never worked; it didn't even deactivate - it didn't boot up at all. When I reinstalled over the boot sector, it booted, but ran into errors. I'm looking for a "seamless" move. If it's just about re-activating, I'm not too worried about that...I just want to be *able* to move it over and have it fully function technically! Thanks ;)

Server Migration...? Here's my scenario I have a full fledged windows network The network consists of two Windows 2000 Servers, one functioning as a domain controller, the other as the Intranet/application server The clients on the other hand, run Windows XP Professional, which they have VM's underneath that run Win 2000 and Win Vista (for legacy apps, and vista testing) The clients at the moment arent the issue it's the servers. My servers everyday are seeming more and more out of date. I love windows 2000 server and how streamlined it is, but I'm going to have to let it go eventually especially after support ends I don't feel like migrating to Windows server 2003 nor the newer 2008...yes, the newer versions are nicer and all, but pricing is a problem at the moment--I want linux as a server platform for me. I want a FREE linux distro,one that can handle ease transition from windows, and that can handle my domain controller and file serving needs Anyone have a distro in mind that follows my needs?

Assuming I need Windows for other tasks, Could someone point me in the direction of a simple guide to setting up a dual-boot system?
