Of course you can hook it to the secondary IDE and copy every single bit from one HDD to the other. The CD burner needn't be connected for that purpose. Just make sure your explorer is set to view and manage each and every existing file. good luck

On my XP computer are two hard drives, one Primary Master 80 GB's and a Primary Slave 40 GB's. I wish to replace the smaller drive with another of 80 GB's. How can I transfer al the files from the 40 GB drive to the new one? Can the CD burner be temporarily disconnected and the new drive hooked up in its place? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
