[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 883868, member: 175144"] First drive in place of the DVD drive and it looks like the data with the exception of some older Windows O/S stuff (probably Win 98) takes up no more than about 5GB and should take 15 minutes to transfer over to the main SATA drive. Just had another thought as I'm sure I've got a SATA DVD drive somewhere, I could put that onto the second SATA socket, leaving both IDE drives in place (though I might then have to upgrade the power supply for more connectors - and or juice. Maybe not. And I've now printed out Mickha's advice further up, for the next stage. [/QUOTE]
