Very easy....
Just unplug the CD & connect your second "big" IDE drive
to it instead & set its links to "Slave" & then boot up.
The second "big" drive will appear in HDToolbox as unit 1,
Then just partition it as per my previous mail, making a "new"
boot partition in the lower part of the drive..
Make absolutely sure you give it a *different device name*
& when you format it, give it *a different label* too...
I will refer to your old 30 meg boot as "small:" and
the "new" boot partition on the big drive as "big:"
Then, pop up a shell & type:
Copy small: big: ALL CLONE
When that is finished, turn off the power,
disconnect the small "old" drive & set the big
drives links back as "Master" & reconnect the CD.....
That's it !!
Now you're running on the big drive...
