I have a P4p800 Deluxe with a WD120 gig HD with 2mg Cache and recently
purchased a WD 120 gig HD with 8mg Cache.

Can I simply install the new WD120 as the secondary, copy the contents of
the old WD 120 and then switch the new drive to primary? Or do I have to
reinstall everything on the new drive to take atvantage of the 8meg cache?

Thanks for your input!

You can copy the contents of any partition except C:. Use Ghost tomake an
image and reinstall the image on your new drive.
