Hey everyone, i just got my 500gb Seagate drive back after it bricked
from the little firmware issue they had. I also just purchased a 1TB WD
drive. I don't really trust the Seagate any more and want to use the 1tb
drive as a backup. I had backed up everything 6 months ago but it's
amazing how much stuff you accumulate in 6 months time.

I am not too knowledgable in hardrives. Not enough to do anything
complicated. Right now i am running Vista Ultimate 64 on the Seagate.
Could i put another copy of Vista on the 1tb drive and just copy what i
want over to it? That way if the Seagate dies again i can go right to
the other drive. This will not be an external drive, just another bare
drive in the bay.


I realize i'm not going about it the best or most efficient way. Some
people have explained better ways but most of it was over my head. I
just want to be able to unplug the bad drive (if it goes bad) and
continue with the other drive.

So, would i run into any problems with Vista (not dual boot of course)
on both my drives? Does it sound like this approach would work?

Thanks, Jerry.
