Same here jford. About 3 or 4 months ago I restored to a different type of drive. One of my last 250gb Maxtor OS drives was dying, so I figured I would install a 500gb SATA that I had sitting hear as a spare & see if it would work...and it did. Since it was a XP Pro 32bit image I thought for sure that it would need a driver, or that the extra 250gb on the SATA drive would confuse it. But it installed AND used all the space, and booted right up.

I was impressed to say the least.
