i remember reading somewhere that there was a program that i ran, either it was a program that the comp could boot off, and you could copy everything from 1 drive to another, or you booted your comp off a dos boot disk and ran the program.

also, there was something i read that you use a norton ghost boot disk and copy the drives using that

I cannot find any of these things again. I want to copy all of my data from 1 drive to another. anybody know of a way?

if you cable the drives on one IDE cable and boot the machine to a DOS prompt and enter this command
xcopy c:\*.*/e/h/k/r/c D:
I'm not sure if it would work using an xbox drive since I've never tried to do that, but i clone PC drives withit so i know it works for that.

Yes u can use Ghost to make a perfect copy of ur HDD to another.First unlock original HDD and add it to first IDE channel as master.Now add newhdd to second IDE channel as master.

Boot into ghost and "Quit" this will bring u to dos.NOw type "ghost /ir" this will enable ghost to read and write in raw mode.

NOw go to local>disk>to Disk

Make sure the original hdd is the source and the newHDD is the destination or else u will have a problem...thats it
