if you
run IDE hds,set the 2nd hd as slave to C: on same IDE cable,format the new
hd,once thru,go to run,type:XCOPY C:\*.* D:\ /c/h/e/k/r Agree to all in the
DOS window.Once its thru,C: is now on new hd & bootable,also D: being the
new hd,but if given diffrent letter,then use that letter.Changes made
currently
if left as is,wont change D: as C: runs,but you'll have a back-up 2nd hd....
