SATAI HD to SATAII HD ?
Hello,
I am running vista ultimate 64bits on a SATAI 80 Gb HD. I would like to upgrade it to a SATAII 500Gb HD by cloning. I have also a IDE 160Gb HD that I use for archiving data. I never done this before and I would like to have suggestions on the best way to do: Is this would be ok (from what I gathered from this forum): 1 - disconnect a data IDE HD 2 - connect the new SATAII HD 3 - start OS 4 - Clone SATA1 HD to the new SATAII HD using acronis TrueImage 10 5 - shut down - remove old SATAI HD - replace with new SATAII HD 6 - start OS: should boot ok ? 7 - reconnect the IDE data HD Now I would like to use the old SATAI HD as a second data HD = if I reconnect it I will have 2 OS on 2 HD - would it be a problem ? Thanks for the advices, Bertrand |
