- I had to perform the gruesome task of transferring things from
- a small hard-drive to a newly installed big hard-drive. I
- could cable 2 computers with the 2 IDE drives, and laplink'm
- but that was slow. I ended up doing disk
- backup/transfer/restore operation. In the disk documentation,
- for the IDE drive, it said it was possible to have 2 disks off
- the same controller, with jumpers on each drive for slave/master
- Well, can you leave both disks in and just transfer from disk->
- disk from within the same computer?
- Thanx for any insight
