Agent-orange: So the Windows operating system isn't stored on the hard-drive? Can you see the start menu after booting up with the 40GB and select menu options? Or do you get a black screen?

My take on it is: if the OS is stored on the HD, which I may have to check with some diagnostic utility to see, then you should be able to use norton ghost to make an image of the hd and then restore it on the 40gb. After that, reconnecting should be a snap and it should work. If it's in some sort of EEPROM or the like, then perhaps there'll be a specific type of HD which the PMC is compatible with, and the thing will automatically interface with the drive.

However, I haven't tried anything with my PMC, so I'm just shooting in the dark currently.
