    Hey Guys I'm adding another HD and I all ready have 2 so I'm not sure how to go about it..

    The new one is a ST3160815A 160GB,

    the master in the pc is a ST380023A 80GB and the slave is a ST34311A 4.3GB:eek:

    I'm going to use Disc Clone Wizard and want to make the 160GB master and the 80GB for pics/info to replace the 4.3GB.

    The 80GB has Windows XP Pro and the 4.3GB has no OS on it just pics/info whats the best way to do this??

    I'd keep it simple and leave the 80 Gig as the Master with the OS. Copy the info from the 4.3 gig to that HDD (or disks or even a thumb drive), then put that data back where you want to.
