How can i copy my existing os to my new hard drive and be able to boot off of it?
I got a 30GB (PRI Master) and A New 120GB (PRI Slave)
Once i copy the OS to the new drive and it works i will change the 120GB to PRI Master

partition magic probably has some utility to do it.
but a full reinstall would probably be better, just in case.
Ya i know its better to reinstall os but i had just reinstalled the os last week andn didnt really feel like doing it again (i've reinstalled 8 times since christmas) and i didnt have the time.
i copied the partition from the 30 GB HD to the new one then booted off the new one and wiped the 30 GB clean and resized the 120 to use all the unallocated space but now when i try to Search for a File Explorer Starts using 90 - 98 % of the processor and it kinda just hangs. how do i fix this?
Odd. Could be a "messy" file system, but its more likely the result of not reformatting...
You should have tried using a program like Ghost to move the OS.
