Make sure that you RAID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks) the hard drives. If you don't you will burn the hard drive very quickly. RAID also increases your speed. Get SCSI drive if you can afford them. SATA drives are ok, don't get IDE.

If you dleted the files, then it has to be rewitable. Just searc the disc ro the file names you are missing.

i fail to see why you need both OS's on a server, butif you insist. then you'll have to format your drive and install XP 1st so it can boot of the 1st partition

The two most common RAID Arrays are RAID 0 (Data Stripping) and RAID 1 (Data Mirroring). Most modern motherboards can perform RAID 0 or RAID 1 (e.g., the nForce4 chipset has it build in, other my have a Silicon Image RAID controller). \n\nRAID 0 is making your PC think that the two harddrives are just one drive. The advantage is that both drives can be working simultaneously to read/write data, effectively doubling your read/write speed (but not your overall access speed). The down side of RAID 0 is that is one of the harddrive fail, you'll lost all data on the combined drives (no redundancy). I think RAID 0 is the only type of RAID array you don't need identical HDD's for, but I could be wrong.\n\nRAID 1 is making one harddrive mirror the other (in which you do need identical harddrives). Everything written to one hardrive is written to the other. If one harddrive fails, all your data is still functional on the other one. There is a decrease in performance because all read/writes have to be performed twice.\n\nStorageReview (http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200406/20040625TCQ_sp.html)has a good article talking about the benefits (or lack thereof) of RAID 0 for gaming systems.\n\nThere are many other types of RAID arrays (RAID 1+0, RAID 5, etc.). Webopedia (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RAID.html) has a decent definition of what they all are. The other Levels of RAID usually require a special controller card which can cost MUCHO $$$'s.

I don't think if your using a SATA harddrive, it has to be in RAID.  Below is a link for your motherboard.  You can download the manual.

Well, it sounds like the program is trying to move some structures from the original to conform with what it expects, and finds that it can't.  Then it writes them as original.  Probably has something to do with the copy protection on the original disks.  If it works, use it would be the best advice.

In my laptop absolutely nothing. I just remove the old one and install the new one and it  auto detects the new drive.

Is it in a scsi raid array, or with HD overi think is 300gb., in that case you will need advanced HD drivers. download from google with search HD name and size.

NEVER raid 5 for an Oracle database.  Use Mirroring with striping, maybe if your IO is random, and not sequential.  Raid 5 will ruin your write performance, and is not a place to put redo log files or the temp tablespace.\nAvoid it if you can.

Hard drive manufacturers offer utilities that you can download from the support section of their websites that help you install hard drives.  They also have good installation guides available.\n\n(Most utilities need at least one of the hard drives to come from their company)\n\nAssuming you have a single existing drive, what you need to do is to first add the new drive as a second drive in order to copy your existing drive data to it (using the utility).  Then you can swop the drives over.\n\nThe new drive will then act just like the original drive.\n\n(The most common problem in installing drives is getting the jumper settings correct.  If the computer doesn't recognize the drive it is almost always the jumper settings).

use the original cd, format your hard drive. install to new.

Get 2 of these and hook them up in a RAID!\n\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144160

Get the 500gb (7200rpm) serial ata hard drive with 8mb databurst cache.\n\nRAID 0 means that two or more hard drives have been combined and made to appear like 1 hard drive.  The problem is that if a hard drive has a 1 in 100 chance of failing, then a RAID 0 with 2 drives has a 1 in 50 chance of failing.  With a RAID 0, if any drive in fails that's part of the RAID 0, then you lose EVERYTHING on BOTH drives.\n\nRAID 0's are faster than single drives, but if this is an external drive using USB 2, then the limitation is the USB connection and a RAID 0 isn't going to be of much help.\n--------------------------------------------\nSo far, few people understand RAID 0.  RAID 1 is a mirror where the data is stored simultaneously on two hard drives so in case 1 fails, you have a backup.  RAID 0 is NOT a mirror - it's not TECHNICALLY a RAID (RAID stands for "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks).  There is NO redundancy in a RAID 0, which is why people who understand RAID understand why RAID 0 is NOT a true RAID - again, if either drive fails, you lose ALL your data on both drives.  \n\nThink of it like this: a RAID 0 is like having two books, book 1 has all the odd pages, book 2 has all the even pages.  If you lose either book, you no longer have a coherent story.  That's how RAID works - each drive gets one "page" of information... if one drive fails (one book is lost) then your files are corrupt and cannot be recovered.

Time for a bigger hard drive. I hate to be a name dropper but I have the best luck with maxtor drives. They come with software that makes it easy to copy your old system to your new drive. Install the new drive as a slave and then run the maxblast software. Make absolutly sure you have the source drive..the drive you want to copy.and the destination drive..the new drive in the right configuration. Once done, turn the computer off..take both drives out and put the new drive in as master.

I suppose u bought ur pc recently. mat be from hp/compaq etc. They used to create only one drive. Well i recommand to use Partation Magic 8.0. Cuz doing anythin wrong will destroy your OS.\n\n\nNeo

just try cloning the hdd by having them both in the same box and running ghost. then it's a 1 step deal and less foulable. should make a direct copy thats usable. be sure the proper jumper is selected on the new drive when you install it to be the primary boot device (a common oversight)
