I have a local PC with two (40GB & 80GB) hard drives. The XP on one of them appears to have slowed down noticeably & it's become quirky - probably the result of "tinkering" & cloning".
I want to clear out all of the old, including applications, etc. & install XP from a fresh start. The 80GB HDD will be the "C:" or primary operating system installation (now it's a backup). The 40GB will become the new "backup system". It will be cloned from the C:/80GB HDD using Ghost.
Question is: What would be the best approach (step by step please) to do this? Should I have both HDD's physically installed while XP is being installed on the 80GB drive? Should I first wipe, or just format both HDD's before doing the XP installation?
If it's a consideration, the 80GB HDD is driven by an ATA 133 PCI controller card with it's own drivers - not a "direct to motherboard" IDE connection. The 40GB is connected direct to motherboard.
Your advice will be very much appreciated.
Best regards, Dick
