Ah right OK! I got some spare FDD drives kicking around anyway just in case I can't for whatever reason boot from CD.

Thanks guys.

Would I need to install Ghost on the server and run it off there or could I run it off my PC connected to the LAN?

I know there's software like Norton Ghost which does this, but I'm not sure of the best thing to use in my case.

Basically I need to replace the (C: drive) HDD in my server with a new one (at the moment it sounds like someone using an angle grinder), but I don't want to go to the hassle of re-installing everything.

It's only a little 40Gb HDD by the way.
