Hard Drive question

[Logster1813]

Ok if you're changing out your harddrives but you still wanna keep some files/games/whatever on your older harddrive how do you swith them from your old Harddrive to your new one?

I've figured out that you could just write whatever you want to a crap load of CDS, however is there another way?

Simple, can't you just set one as master and slave on your IDE cable, you'll have C: and D: under My Computer. Then just copy/paste your old files over to the new drive. New drive has to be formatted and with the same OS of course.
