Hi mymy,

You could go to the hard drive manufacturer's website and download the installation utilities. There is usually a utility that will copy everything from the old hard drive to the new one for you.

What operating system are you using? And what brand and model is the new hard drive?

Oh yeah...with the old hard drive set us as master on the primary IDE channel, set the new hard drive as master on the secondary IDE channel and set the drive jumper accordingly.
