hi
My master drive is starting to make noise sometimes so i thought it is time for me to get a new master drive.
so is it save to say that my master drive it going to go at anytime, since it is startting to make noise? I had a 200GB Maxter and it die not long after it starts making noise.
i am thinking of getting another 200GB as the masterdrive seems how it only sell for $60.
My question is will my computer be able to handle two 200GB harddrive? I have sony Viao PCV-RX550, it is 4 years old but it is still getting all my jobs done so i am not thing of getting another one just yet,
it is P4 with Windows XP Home. (i didn't upgrade the oprating system)
You see i was never so sure that if my computer is %100 virus free, so i am thinking of reistall the window on my new 200GB 133/ATA 7200/RPM. insted of transpering all the files from my old Master to the new one. (by the way, if i reinstall the windows on the new harddrive does that mean my computer will be as new as when i got it off the store? I am talking about the system not all the hardwares.)
Come some one please tell me step by step on how to do this?
Do i have to format the new hardrive before installing the windows on it?
do i just set the harddrive to master and popin the windows reinstalling CD that came with my computer?
P.S i am not sure if the new harddrive it Maxtor or Western, for they didn't say anything on the Staple webPage. Will the 133/ATA 720/RPM be able to handle the job as a master? i don't have the modle number yet but i will be back to addin the specifications for the harddrive. so please come back and look at my question agian tomorrow.
