I just got another HDD because I want to setup RAID on my main one to keep it backed up all the time.
Right now I have 3 HDDs, and now I am adding a 4th HDD. I want to know if I can simply copy all the contents of a partition into another partition on a different HDD and then swap the drive letters without any issues.
For example, I have a partition (P) on HDD1, I want to move that whole partition to HDD2's parition (X). So I create a partition on HDD2 with at least the same size, then do a simple Select All inside the P: drive and a Paste into my X: drive. Then change my X drive to be called P.
Will this work? I have installed programs in this "P" drive, not just random files, so there are dependencies.
Thanks
