524983	2007-02-15 16:53:00	I am going to get a new hard disk. Is a 1000 rpm disk worth the price differential? I want the new disk to replace my current one and be my only disk. I would like to do a selective disk copy. That is I want to leave out several programs and numerous files I have saved. Is there an easy way to do this? If I decide to do a full install of all programs, how do I install WIN XP on a second disk? Only way I can think of is to unplug my current drive and call the new disk C: As this is going to be an on going exercise I would prefer to keep my current drive operational at all times. If this is not possable will I have any problems,particularly with bios, changing backwards and forwards between disks. Then when I have the new disk complete I'll just remove the old one and use the new C: disk. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome Final Question. Can I use a SATA 2 as a replacement for a SATA 1?

Only if you will really use the extra speed I want the new disk to replace my current one and be my only disk. I would like to do a selective disk copy. That is I want to leave out several programs and numerous files I have saved. Is there an easy way to do this? So you just want to take most things? but leave some out? sounds like a plain old copy might be easier (install windows on the new drive, plug the old one back in) If I decide to do a full install of all programs, how do I install WIN XP on a second disk?
