Hi,
i currently have a master 40gig and a slave 120gig in my main comp and i want to pull out the slave to put it in my new computer that i am building.
how do i do this?
Of course, i will back up all the stuff in the slave, but then do i just disconnect it from the computer?
Thanks

    Yup. If the other drive is set properly, it won't be a problem.

    Are the 2 drives part of a RAID? If so, you may encounter problems.

    If they are just totally separate drives, just go ahead and yank it out. IF you have manual hard disk settings in your BIOS, remember to disable that drive from the BIOS. Most BIOS are set to "auto-detect" by default, so you most likely will not have to even do this.

    Dexter...
