<0> primary
<0> it just wont
<0> but anyway jsut for your sake
<0> what drive you copying from and to?
<1> in this case slave to master
<0> name...
<0> C:\ etf
<0> etc*
<1> i would be coping my old drive to the one i just installed windows on
<0> ARRGH
<0> WHATS THE NAME
<0> is it C:\ D:\
<0> what
<0> for example if i wanteed to copy from my master to slave it'd be copying from C:\ to D:\
<1> it would be from my slave to my master, d to c
<0> ok
<0> you want to copy all your information from your slave to your master right now?
<0> josh4bbal im a 14yr. old by the way lol
<1> ok
<1> yes
<0> do you
<1> yes
<0> umm...
<0> ok so...
<0> im not sure you know what your doing but ill just tell you how anyway
<0> in the command prompt
<0> type
<0> xcopy D:\ C:\
<0> that will copy all the information from your D drive (slave) to your C drive (master)
<0> ok?
<1> ok
<1> and i do that after install a fresh copy of windows on the master?
<0> brb
<1> anyone here know about coping one drive to another
<1> aao u there?
<0> yes
<0> im here
<1> so do i do the xcopy after i install the fresh copy of windows on the new drive?
<0> naw you can actually do that right now
<0> i just want to know WHY you want to do it
<1> cause my current drive is a 80 gb and my new drive is 320 gb
<0> i understand that
<0> but which one you wnna boot off of
<1> the 320 gb
<2> why? :p
<0> nid0
<0> thats what i was asking
<0> he wants to copy all his stuff to his 320GB
<3> is there big difference between sata1 HD and sata2 HD
<0> but he wants to boot off of it
<1> casue i need more space
<0> josh4bbal
<0> what you dont udnerstand is
<2> just boot from the 80g and plug the 320 in to use...?
<0> when you put windows on it again
<0> you gotta format
<0> yes nid0 lol
<0> he dont understand you gotta format
<0> he wants to boot off of his 320 and wants to copy it now
<0> lol
<2> blair - technically theres no such thing as sata2 but yeh theres a difference between sata150 and sata300, although the differences arent of *much* benefit at the moment
<0> i say, make your right now make your primary your slave and make your slave your master
<0> then install windows
<0> then goto your other drive in my computer and copy all the stuff after then
<0> that way, you loose nothing
<3> does sata300 use different cables than sata150
<0> but its your choice, if you wanna loose all your crap its not my problem lol
<0> eSATA uses different calbes than SATAII but i dont know blair, i still use IDE
<0> lol
<1> i dont want to loose anything hense the coping
<0> josh are you retarded
<0> hence after you copy if you want to boot off your 320 gb you gotta format
<3> what the heck is ESATA? is that something new?
<0> hence copying is useless
<2> blair - current cables will always support both
<0> blair dont worry
<0> lol
<2> esata is just external sata
<0> http://www.macgurus.com/ccp51/media/images/category/sata/eSATA_TypA_lrg.jpg
<2> something smart-alec's use :p
<0> stfuz lol
<1> if i install windows and copy everything over then format it then whats the point the drive will be blank
<0> jish4bbal
<0> josh*
<0> if you copy all your stuff right now
<0> then make your drive you copied the crap to your master
<0> it'll format that drive lol
<0> and the copying will be useless
<2> you're both missing something obvious
<0> why?
<0> what*
<2> he has an 80gb drive with windows and all his stuff on right?
<1> yes
<2> and a new empty 320gm?
<0> nid0 i know change the jumpers and swap the cables then install windows and copy over
<2> nononono
<0> ?
<0> then what
<2> he has the two drives
<2> just plug the 320 in
<1> yes
<2> and put anything else he needs, on it.
<0> nid0 he wants to boot off of his 320
<2> leave the 80gb exactly as it is.
<2> theres no need or reason to, boot from the 80.
<0> the 320*
<0> i know there isnt
<0> he just wants to
<0> lol
<1> well thing is that i have another 320 that i want to make a slave to the new 320 so i cant have the 80 and 2 320 pluged in at the same time
<0> josh4bbal what are you using SATA or IDE?
<0> nm
<0> that isnt relevant your only plugging in 3
<2> doesnt matter, you can either way
<1> so i need to eliminate the 80 all togerther but keep its data
<0> nid0
<0> what im telling him to do is swap the jumpers and cables around right now
<0> so he formats his 320GB which is already formateed
<0> and once windows is installed
<0> just copy it onto his 320
<0> which is the only like solution
<0> lol
<2> why would you need to swap any cables?
<2> just plug the disk in as a slave and install windows to it
<0> i think hes using IDE?
<2> why does it matter?
<1> yes i am
<0> does it?
<2> well no
<0> i always plugged where it said master where it had the master lol
<2> windows can be installed to any partition on the system
<2> irrespective of where its plugged in or what disk its on
<0> nid0 im talking the easyest route
<2> its a lot easier to just move the "install windows here:" selection down to the slave disk in the list than it is to arse around resetting the jumpers and swapping them over
<1> so i plug the 320 in as a slave and install windows on it right?
<2> yeh
<0> naw josh
<0> lol
<0> its a slave right now
<1> yes
<0> josh just use partition magic and dont **** up lol
<0> lol
<0> nid0 im testing crap, where can i get external power for SATA and molex adapters
<1> fine will u walk me through the steps of creating a bootable drive using partion magic
<0> josh4bbal
<2> external 4-pin power?
<0> i ment molex
<0> ya...
<2> best i can suggest is run a molex out from inside your case
