ok, i got an Acer computer with 40 GB hdd, but i wanted an 80 GB so i bought it and put it in.

then i notice that Windows is on a partition on the older hdd.

How can i set up Windows in my new hdd?

You can use the "dd" command. Here is the tutorial listed on the LQ site.

One more thing, the Knoppix Hacks book has a section for using "dd" to do exactly this and more.
