Hi

I had a similar problem some time ago, so may I make these suggestions?

Install Windows ( or whatever ) in your new harddrive and make it the
master, with your present HD with AOL as slave. Then

1. Install a boot manager ( e.g. BootMagic or Boot-It )in your new
   HD and you'll have a choice of which drive to boot.

2. If you don't use your AOL connection often, then don't bother with
   a boot manager. On the rare occasions when you want AOL, just go into
   CMOS ( Press DEL or whatever it says on your screen ) on bootup and
   disable your primary master
   i.e. "Primary Master - Not Installed". Then allow your computer to
   boot your second disk.


Julie
