HOW DO I GHOST MY NEW HD- AND SET IT UP TO DUAL BOOT?

Iinstalled 80 Gig hardrive in slave position and want to copy (ghost) the C drive 6 gig.

What is the proceedure for making the copy and being able to switch out the small C drive for the new larger one ??? How do I make the 80 gig the master C drive after copying the data so 'puter will boot

If I may, one more question.....is it possible to load both win 2000 and win 98 so I can switch between them depending on the hardware and programs I want to run?

If yes..........some hints please.

TO SET UP A SYSTEM TO A DUAL BOOT, ONE MUST FIRST MAKE TWO PARTITIONS, ONE FOR EACH O/S THE NEWER OF THE TWO MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST, (OR IN THIS CASE, GHOSTED, USING THE SYMANTEC SYSTEM W/THE PEER TO PEER OIPTION) ONCE ON BOARD, 98 CAN BE INSTALLED ON THE SECOND PARTITION ONCE IN PLACE, THE ELDER DRIVE CAN BE REMOVED, OR SET BY JUMPER TO SLAVE POSITION ALSO, THE NEW DRIVE MUST BE SET TO MASTER POSITION BY JUMPER ONCE THE COMPUTER STARTS UP, IT WILL ASK WICH O/S TO BOOT FROM.
