marinerschas2 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ok heres my complicated situation. I have 2 computers, i am planning to swap hard drives and give my main computer more overall space. heres the situation. Computers: My Computer (main) for short. and the Emachines. Computer stats main Athlon 64 2800 1gb ram 80gb hd 30gb hd emachines sempron 3100 768 ram 100gb hd I want to move the emachines 100gb hd into main computer. Then have the emachines run on the 30gb (computer is only used for internet). with doing this i also want the 100gb hd clean formatted for main computer. Question 1: can i transfer the entire contents of the 100gb drive (15 used) to a clean formatted 30gb without reinstalling windows? I have heard 1 person have success with this, and the other had to reinstall. Then i want to fresh install xp pro on the 100gb on main computer, and use the 80gb as the 2nd hd. Are these options possible? For further reference heres what i want the computers to look like. Main amd 2800 1gb ram 100gb hd 80gb hd emachines sempron 3100 768 ram 30gb hd (with exact copy of what was on the 100gb) on a side note i just bought a geforce 6800xt 256mb agp card for the main computer. Should mvp run pretty good on this? I have given up on my piece of crap 6200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
