Hey guys,
So I have a 120GB (unknown brand) IDE drive...(old school I know) and I'm going to be purchasing a Western Digital 1TB SATA drive next week. I just recently built a new computer (thats why I need a new hard drive, my old mother board had 2 IDE's, this one only has one) so I had to dump my 2 hard drives, for my DVD and 120GB Drive.
Is it possible to hook up the SATA drive and "transfer" all my files over? I know it will work with all my music, movies, and games, but when it comes to the system files it seems like the computer wouldn't like it. Is there software out there to make that possible??
Which brings me to my next question...would a system run any smoother if the hard drive it was installed on was "dedicated" to the system and the other had everything else??
Thank you for all your input!
