I've currently got 2 drives both IDE

Seagate 120GB IDE
C: WINXP 20GB
D: APPS 10GB
E: GAMES 50GB
F: MY DOCUMENTS 40GB

Maxtor 250Gb IDE thats seems to be going faulty
G: ARCHIVE 250Gb

Motherboard is a P5KC with 4 SATA II and 1 IDE

I have brought a Seagate 500G SATA II and a SATA to IDE convertor so I can use the Seagate 120G as back up.

Thing is whats the best way to clone C: drive on the current disk to the new one. And if I created a partition for Vista how much should I leave?

Ghost or similar will copy you onto the new drive - Vista space depends on the edition so allow 40Gb or so :grin:
