- ?? about adding a new hard drive
- Posted by Eddie G on March 12th, 2006
Currently I have 2 hard drives and want to add a third. Do I need to
change the jumpers on BOTH the old drive so my current master is the
primary slave, and change the one that is now primary slave to
something else? Or do I just change the jumpers on the current master
to slave?
Secondly, I know I should do a clean install of Windows and re-install
all of my programs to start off with a clean drive, but I am lazy and
also concerned that I won't be able to get all of email sub-folders in
the right directory and sub-directory on the new drive. Taking the
lazy way out, how do I copy my current drive as is to the new drive so
I can just boot-and-go?
Thanks!!

Remember that CD drives also use the IDE, set their jumpers too.
I belive it's called 'ghosting' a hard drive, but you really should
re-install Windows and the other programs, then copy the files so the path is
exactly the same. If you want to ghost it, there may be some issues with
Windows settings.
