How change hard drive without losing files

sanitroca · 01-06-2008, 04:28 PM

I have a 20 gb hard drive (primary) 11% free space, and 80 gb hard drive (slave) 60% free space. I wanted to copy all files from primary
hard drive to slave drive, and make slave drive my primary drive.
Until I purchase another hard drive.

Can this be done.
I'm running windows 98 se with xp pro sp2 upgrade.
