I've just added a 2nd hard drive to my PC & is currently drive D.
What I want to do is make this new drive my main drive & transfer all my files to it.
I've managed to copy everything except the Windows 98se operating system.
It wont allow me to copy this over. It starts to copy then an error keeps being displayed saying that a certain file is in use and cannot be copied.
Does anyone know if it can be copied over & if so, how?
I need to be able to do this as I want to remove my old hard drive.
The only way I can think of, at the moment, is to remove my old hard drive & install windows from the cd onto the new hard drive. Is this the only way?
Please help.

Actually you can migrate from one drive to another quite painlessly.
If you're using Windows 9x or ME then you can use XCOPY32: boot into DOS and (assuming your moving from drive C: to D:) use the command xcopy32 c:\. d:\ /e/c/r/h/k
There is probably a similar utility for XP but I haven't used it. If you want a more user-friendly utility then try Norton Ghost or the PowerQuest equivalent.

Yes, thats the only way you can do it, copying all the files is not enough to get a working install of windows.
