Drive copy will only work on computers that allow you to access (install) both
the new and old hard drives at the same time (e.g. C: and D:). You might
want to consider the use of an outboard drive holder, either PCMCIA or
parallel port, that would allow you to install and access the new drive. You
could then use the outboard unit to hold your old drive, after you've transferred
everything, and use it as a backup device.

You literally would have to start at the very beginning by loading DOS, your
Socketsoft drivers and then do a reload of Win95.
