The harddrive on my laptop is full, so its time for a new one.

Instead of throwing the old one away I'm thinking of buying a USB case and adaptor, and using it for backing up data etc.

I've been doing a bit of reading, it appears W2K will recognise the USB drive without installing any drivers, is this right?

What I would like to do (if possible) is fit the new drive in the USB case, format it, copy my files from the old drive (using Ghost2003) and then swap the drives. Has anyone tried this, will it work?
