Merry Christmas to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" The easiest way to solve the problem is to get a larger drive. All new drives come with cloning software that will transfer the existing install and allow you to use the new drive as master. Alternatively, you could install the new drive as a slave and just transfer your data to it, but you might just be putting off the inevitable.
