| Well i'm working on the 9 gig now and it keeps getting almost out of space. I was going to install XP onto the 80 gig but noo I have insert an other windows CD which I don't have. So my question is. Is there a way to install XP without the extra CD? Or I can just use the 80 gig as a file taker. or is it possible to somehow copy the OS to the 80 gig? Please help | |||

| I don't think you can do it without the CD, but you might be able to just start installing from it, then take it out and point it to the hard drive when it asks for missing files, if that's possible. | |||

| If you want to copy the OS (and everything in the 9gb), you will need to ghost the 9gb hard drive to the 80gb hard drive. Connect the 80gb hard drive as a slave, and the 9gb as master (which it should already be, as you're using it right now), and use Norton Ghost to mirror everything to the 80gb hard drive. Then remove the 9gb hard drive, set the 80gb as master, and boot. If you want to use the 80gb hard drive as a 'file taker', that is an extra means of storage, just set it to slave and plug it in to your computer (this is as easy as screwing the hard drive into the proper bay, and plugging in the extra lead from the 9gb hard drive's ribbon cable, as well as a power molex).
