My 40 GB IDE has failed on me twice so I thought it was about time I replaced it.
I ended up getting a 160 GB Western Digital Caviar SATA drive.
I'v repartitioned this into
  • 25 GB for Linux
  • 50 GB for the Windows Partition
  • 25 GB for a Games Partition
  • 25 GB for a Development Partition
  • 25 GB for a Documents Partiton

This is similar to what I had on the IDE (but proportionately smaller obviously).
Whats the best way of transferring the files from the IDE to the SATA?
Should I just copy the data files and reinstall all the programs or use some sort of disk clone utility?
