  1. i have a problem with mine. it keeps overheating and causing the computer to crash.

    i have a spare hard drive, and i'd like to basically make a carbon-copy of everything on the first drive and transfer it to the second drive, so that if i fitted the second drive as my master, it would boot windows and still have all my hardware and software installed from my original drive.

    does anybody know how to do this?

  2. Get GHOST, it's the perfect tool, will duplicate your HDD to the other, and will take maybe 10min (if you got a good fast system).

    SilentDrive™ Enclosure

    A product so effective you wonder why no-one did it before! The answer? Like processors, hard drives need to keep cool and simply sealing a drive in an acoustic enclosure could abruptly shorten the life of a drive if it was allowed to overheat. The SilentDrive™ product employs aluminum cold plates to transmit excess heat from the drive to the PC chassis, ensuring that overheating does not occur. Containing a dense acoustic barrier and a thin decoupling foam, the SilentDrive™ delivers a typical noise reduction of over 90%!

  4. Somebody just mentioned this in the last issue of PCWorld.
    An engineer (figures) had two identical drives and mobile mounting
    racks for both. He put one rack on the master of IDE 1 and the 2nd
    rack on the master of IDE 2. when time for back up he slides rack
    2 in runs ghost and turns in for the night. when He gets up all done,
    and he puts rack 2 in a safe place.
    Now if drive one dies he just pulls it out and slides drive 2 into place.
    I like this idea and may do this myself for my e-mail server.

  5. That's if i'm not mistaken Raid-9 technology, in most work places, you have something of the sort, usually with several HDD's, and each backups the other, so if anything goes wrong, you can simply take one out and put another in, no need to even shut down as it works in a "Hot Swap" method.
