Transfering Information From 1 Hardrive To Another
What is it that you wish to achieve?
If it is your dsesire to make the new hard drive a clone of the original and then use it to boot up and then reformat and use the old disk for data, then you will need to get Norton Ghost. Maxtor and Seagate have software that does all this for you, I'm not sure about the Western Digital: check for downloads on the web site. You will need to reconfigure the new drive [after cloning] to make jumper as MASTER and place it as Primary IDE controller as Master. The old drive can be left as Master and placed on the secondary IDE controller or on the Primary IDE controller as Slave.
