I have an existing 10gb hard drive and need to upgrate. I bought a 40gb
WD hard drive and would like to make it a slave to the 10gb hd.  I do not
want the hassle of having to move all of my existing programs, data  etc
to the larger drive for fear of loosing someting I negleted to move.  Is
it a problem doing this? The transfer speed of the 40gb hd is 7200 and
I'm sure the 5 year old 10gb hd is slower.  Does it really matter?  Do
you have any suggestions about this that might ease the pain of this
installation? I am running xp pro. with 215mg ram, and 1.4ghz processor.
Thanks. chuck Narrow
