I've never installed a storage/slave drive before. But I was wondering if what I listed seems right.
1. Install the new hard drive as the master, and change the old hard drive jumpers to slave.
2. Check the fdisk to set partitions on new HD.
3. Install the OS.
4. Drag important documents from old HD to new HD.
5. Format the old HD.
6. Drag the documents back to the old HD and use it only for storage.
Does this all sound ok? If there are any holes missing, please tell me
And is it possible to create a partition just to boot windows? (My friend said this loads and runs windows fastest) Any truth to that? And how big would the partitiona have to be?
Thanks!
