I just gave in and bought a WD 200 GB 8 MB buffer hard drive to replace my 60 GB IBM Deskstar (no problems in 2 years)

How Can I transfer all my settings to the new drive, and possibly keep the IBM as a slave? Is it possible to have my WD as the master and put windows and everything else on it that was on my old HD? Thanks for the help!

You can istall the WD as master and the IBM as slave then you can get a program like <A HREF="http://www.symantec.com/sabu/ghost/ghost_personal/" target="_new">Norton Ghost</A> and image the IBM to the WD. There are other programs that do this, but Norton is the only one I've used.

If you want to copy an entire partition and enlarge it to fit the drive, use MaxBlast software from Maxtor, it's FREE for download and a top notch program.
