Transfering Data..

[SuperSniper]

I need to transfer my data from my old hard-drive to my new one.

I know that i should use an ID cable to transfer the data but does anybody know of any free software to do it with.

another thing is that how will i transfer the data into my new hard-drive if it is not external? Should my hard-drive have a built-in port for the data transfer?

Just connect both harddisks to your motherboard. You can use 1 or 2 cables to do that.

To make it easy:

If you use one cable, make sure that the hard drive with the data is connected to the connector on the end of the cable and the empty one on the second connector (in the middle). Both hard disks need to be set as cable select .Use Ghost to copy the data 1 on 1 to the new drive.

If you use two cables, make sure that both hard drives are connected to the connector on the end of each cable. Use IDE1 channel 1 for the drive with the data and IDE channel 2 for the empty one. Both hard disks need to be set as cable select .Use Ghost to copy the data 1 on 1 to the new drive.

There are other ways but as you are new with hardware the best way is like I explained you.

Good luck,
