Right now i am currently running a system with a 80 gig IDE hard drive that came with the system that we bought. (Compaq Celeron D)
Later we added a 400 gig Sata Drive that is used for media storage. When we installed it, we partitioned the drive in to 4 approx 100 gigs sections. Two of the partitions have data on them and two are empty. I was thinking for our upcoming build we would use the exsisting 400 gig. What would be the best way to transfer the data to the new computer. I was thinking of installing XP onto one of the non used partitions and then arranging the data around it. Is there any way to reformat the unused partitions without corrupting the existing data on the used partitions. What would the easiest way to do this? Thanks for the help.
