Hello all,
I have an older PII running XP home, with (2) 10 gig hard drives. Both are
full, and I want to upgrade to a larger drive that I can install as a backup
drive in a future computer.
The drive I'm looking at is a Seagate 250 Gig ATA-100 IDE.
However, my hard drive controller says it supports "Ultra-33".
So,
1). Will the 120 gig drive work ( I assume i'll need to partition it)
2). If so, could someone please walk me through the steps to get the new
drive going, what I want to do is migrate Everything from both drives to this
one big one.
I assume I'll set it up slave, load XP onto it, then set it up as a master,
then just copy the files??
Thanks for the help!
