Alan:
If you have room on your 80 Gb drive, you
can move the files from the 40 Gb drive to the
80 Gb drive by using explorer to mark and drag them
to a separate folder.
Then just change to the new drive and
drag them back again. This will avoid disturbing
the cd burner connections and changing your
setup for a different drive installation while you
are transferring files. If space is limited it is
easy to compress the files before moving them
to the 80 Gb drive. Be sure explorer is set
to view all files so you do not miss any of the
hidden and system files.
