I have the original HD as a Master on the Primary cable. (The CD will be
temporarily disconnected.)
I have a new HD that I will install as a Master on the Secondary cable. The
jumpers are correct. After I format it via the manufacturer's CD, what is
the easiest most trouble free way to make this new HD an exact BOOTABLE copy
of the original.
I have tried lots of stuff and had lots of problems and the new HD copies
never will boot. Not even when installed as the only HD in the computer as
Master on Primary cable.
While of very limited computer capability, I DO understand in the BIOS how
to find the devices and jumpers and cables and boot priority etc. That is
not the problem. Just want a fool proof way to make the copy. Dual boot is
NOT a problem. After it is made it will be removed to an external USB HD
"carrier".
