WhiteKnight77 1 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I should have a Western Digital 200GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model WD2000JB, OEM Drive Only with an OEM copy of XP Home w/ SP2 come Tuesday. This is the same HD I listed in my previous upgrade thread. My big unemployment check came this past week and I used some of it for those 2 items. The big pain is moving all my saved game files and such for over a dozen or so games. For Flight Simulator 2004, I must have at least 600 AI aircraft to move and the right files for that so my flight plans use the right planes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYR_32 6 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hehehe, gonna be fun moving that stuff around. Within the next few months I'm gonna be buying myself a 74GB WD Raptor . Luckily I have lots of free space on my second HD to store it temporarily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 Not to mention all my N2K3 stuff too. I plan on doing fresh installs of the games then slowly but surely copy everything from this drive into their places then reformat this drive and use it for storage. I will split that other drive into 2 patitions also, one a 20GB section for Windows and the rest for programs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CR6 0 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hehehe, gonna be fun moving that stuff around. Within the next few months I'm gonna be buying myself a 74GB WD Raptor . ← Good choice NYR. I bought two of them several months ago ... originally was going to put them in a RAID 0 array but found out there was no performance gain http://forums.3dretreat.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5475 So now I just run them independently (on seperate SATA headers) with the OS on one and I put the virtual memory on the first partition of the 2nd one. They are suprisingly quiet and cool for running at 10K (I do have 2 intake fans built-in to my Lian-Li case blowing cool air over them though I also have a 3rd 160GB WD IDE HD for storage on the same system) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteKnight77 1 Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 How about u try Norton Ghost to transfer all the stuff? ← Where can I get it for free? Seriously, I can just transfer it manually. It won't be that big of a pain really for most things. Even with the planes, it cant be more than 200MB worth of stuff (I haven't added it up so don't quote me). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeko 33 Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 There aint free Ghost around. I think it cost around 60-70$. But yeah it's just better to have clean install IMO. I had some problems with Ghost in past so even that aint 100% sure to transfer all system to new HD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
