Running out of space. I have a 150 WD Raptor and a 320 Seagate. Raptor was primary HD when first built, I later purchased Seagate when I saw it on sale and has never been installed. I have just wiped that HD clean with DriveScrubber,long story. I had the Seagate laying around and thought the extra storage is needed. Is all I need to do is connect both sata cables to the Asus P5N32-SLI Premium MB. Select Raptor as boot device? My son installed OS Windows xp on Seagate but I would like to move it to Raptor and use it for OS and games while the Seagate stores photos and music, etc. Can it be transfered to raptor or should I uninstall it on Seagate and reinstall to Raptor? Any ideas and advice would be much appreciated.
