Hiya gang,
One of my hdd's has finally croaked (SMART said it was hardware....made all kinds of wacky noises too).
My main hdd is 80GB and an ide, the new drive is sata 160GB. I got the new drive to replace my main hdd, so I can move the old main one and make it my backup drive.
The new hdd is SATA. Will it mess anything up to have an SATA drive and an ide drive on my system like this?
Thanks for all the answers everyone! I feel comfortable about it now. As Felix said though in his post, trying to clone what I have now onto the new drive is a little too iffy for me, so it looks like I'll have to put /home on a DVD and start from scratch (the only reason I hate and dread doing it though is because with dial-up it all takes so darn long...oh well). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
