Title: File transfer (Win7 Ulti)
Post by: Wineslob on October 19, 2010, 02:25:54 PM

Quick question, is it possible with Win 7 to C&P a progam to a slave HD? I don't have enough room on my main HD for a game update, so I got a 250G WD Caviar Blue for use as a slave drive. I'd rather not have to do a total install. (game, ya it's WoW  :tongue: )

You'll have to get into admin tools, drive management and get W7 to recognize the drive. Then once recognized, format it and then you can copy all you need to it. Start: Control Panel: Administrative Tools: Computer Management: Drive Management

as a matter of fact, I need to hook up my new 2 Terabyte drive and an SD-Card reader to my relatively new PC.

Caught it on sale at Newegg....... for  $95, free shipping. Now I can move forward recording my LP albums.
