Copy all your files to a new hard drive: If your upgrading or adding a new hard drive to you computer, you will need to copy all your files to your new drive. Replacing your hard drive is as simple as taking the old one out and plugging the new one into the same spot. The challenge in replacing your hard drive is how to copy or transfer all of your existing files and program from the old hard drive to your new hard drive.

One approach for you is to back up all your data and programs from your old hard drive, and then restore them to your new hard drive once it's been installed. This approach hard, but it works.

A easier approach for you to install your new hard drive in your computer as the master drive (set jumpers), and keep your old hard drive installed and change it to your slave or second drive. This way you can copy all of your files and data from your old hard drive to your new hard drive. Plus, you get to keep your old hard drive for more hard drive storage. Believe me, you'll will need all the hard drive storage you can get! WebTechGeek.com

Note: Evidence Eliminator ~ This program gives you complete protection, eliminating all the tracks you accumulate online. Will also Speed-Up your computer and Internet Browser and reclaim lost Hard Disk space (wipe clean your hard drive). All with one mouse click!

3. Once your finished copying, exit Windows and turn off you Pc. Go back inside your computer system and change the jumper settings on your old drive to the slave setting, and then change the jumper settings on your new drive to the master setting.

4. Assuming that your new hard drive is working fine as your main drive C:, you may reformat your old hard drive (which should now be your drive D:) to wipe off all the old data and operating system. It best to wait a week or two before you format and wipe your old hard drive, you may need some of the files on it.
