Before I decide to build a new Sandy Bridge unit, I’ve thought of just upgrading my old AMD 939 socket machine for a short while with more RAM, a newer hard drive and Win 7 HP 64 or Win 7 Pro 64 bit as a kind of stop gap until I have the funds to build a new 1155 mobo and 2500K CPU and 8 gigs of RAM.
My question is can I keep my old WD Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0 Hard Drive and use it as a backup for a WD Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB cache SATA 3.0?
Would this be a Raid 1 type set up? Is this hard to do?
I also have an WD external HD 120 gig backup drive. The old 250 gig internal drive only has about 35 gigs of space used up on it.
How would I transfer the Apps, data and programs on the old drive to the new one without taking all of the junk, clutter, resource hogs, slow downs and trash on the drive to the new one?
I know this is a big question. Is there someplace I can learn this? I’m not so good at file management, etc. as you can probably tell.
Thanks for the help.
