Hi!I have never changed HD before so if the Qs sound silly please bear with me!
![]()
I recently purchased a 2nd HD (200GB Maxtor D/Max 10 IDE) as i want to have a 2nd drive for Capturing my camcorder Video for editing. At the moment my OS is on a single 120GB Maxtor with no Partitions on it. What i want to do is put my OS on the new 200GB drive and use the 120GB as the Capture drive. But what i would like to know is can i do this without Reformating my 120GB drive?I know it has to be done if i want to use it for Captureing,but is it possible to swap the OS onto the new 200GB and then reformat it afterwards?
