    Boy I must have been really tired last night.
    I wouldn't worry mate, with mana as high as yours.
    if your font size is this small i'll add you to my ignore list because you're wasting my time, OK?

    Ok, i got the SATA drive partitioned, and formatted. But Now, I want to do something else:

    SATA is going to be my storage drive.

    I have 2 IDE drives that need everything on them to be swapped. I'm going to put my one (which is currenly my C: drive) from the 5400rpm drive to the 7200rpm drive. How can I do this while preserving all the information and using the new IDE drive as the master...

    thsi probably doesn't make sense... I haven't been able to think as coherently any more.

    You wanna transfer all your stuff from one IDE Hard Drive to another?

    I know my Western Digial Floppy that came with my new drive allowed me to do this, dont know about what other companies ship with their drives to do the same though.

    Partition Magic can move installed programs IIRC.

    This is getting into software but you can use Norton Ghost to copy the whole drive over to the other one.

    Move this post/topic if need be... but would you know of a tutorial that could walk me through such steps?

    Thanks to everyone, again.

    It would probably be better & easier to go to dos then using the xcopy command mate.
