C drive is 8GB and D: drive is 40GB. Using win98. >Please e-mail: >jimtwalker@aol.com > >Sorry for off topic but this is the only forum I check into. I have done this a few times but not very recently. It's something you do with GREAT delicacy and care. I'd use a tool such as Ghost (by Norton) or Drive Image to clone the C: drive to the other drive. It should result in an exact duplicate. Then I'd power off, remove the C: drive, and change the jumpers as necessary to make the other drive the new "first-seen" drive (master versus slave, perhaps, or which IDE chain it's on). Then, in theory, just start the machine and the former D: should now be C: with identical contents as the prior C:. [PS: On a Macintosh, there has never been drive letters, just names. You can boot off any drive (hard drive, zip, CD-ROM, whatever) at any time and you can have hundreds of different drives and partitions at one time. You just tell it which one to boot from. That is sanity. The DOS way, still used after 20 years, is insanity.]
