Most drive manufacturers have software that allows you to make an exact copy of your existing drive. If you buy a retail version drive, the software will probably come with the drive. Otherwise, it is available at no cost at the manufacturer's web site. Western Digital has the best program in my opinion. It's quick and easy and almost foolproof. I have used it many, many times with great success. If you know what brand drive you will be purchasing, post it here and we will provide the web address.

Boot from a floppy, partition your 10Gb as desired, format it, don't forget the system files.
Then boot from the 4Gb into your OS, copy all you need to the 10Gb.
2.Another option is to copy all the stuff via something like Ghost.
After 1 or 2 swap HDD's 10Gb as master 4Gb as slave, or even better 10Gb master on primary controller, 4Gb mast on secondary controller, since they most certainly have different access speeds (PIO 4 and PIO 2 or something )
3.But probably the best solution is to hook them up like that right away, install the 10Gb fresh from scratch with all needed applications, after which you can transfer all the needed data afterwards.
Good luck,
Pete
