"Did you get all of that, Chief?"
"Not all of it Max."
"Which part didn't you get, Chief?"
"The part after Binos, Max."
I have the W98 disc, Max; I'm just not sure what advantages your procedure will give me. And I didn't understand it anyway. Sorry.
I did wonder about the naming of the drives though. I gather the system will automatically name the new drive C or D depending on whether it's master or slave, and bump everything else one letter further down. But when I remove the old hard drive later, will all drives go back to their original lettering?
Folks, listening to the sound advice given here I have decided against leaping into the deep end without really knowing what I am doing, and I will give myself a bit of time increasing my knowledge base by absorbing all your suggestions and ferreting around the internet for more. When I feel more comfortable with all aspects I'll then take the plunge.
So thank you all and please keep the suggestions coming.
