So I've just taken delivery of a new SATA hard disc. I'm going to be using it to totally replace the IDE drive I have in my rig right now as my MB, being fairly recent, only has one IDE socket and I've had to double up the DVD and HDD on one cable.
I was just wondering if there's any reason why I wouldn't be able to just copy the contents of my current HDD in their entirety onto this new drive, adjust the BIOS and boot up from the new, copied drive? It would certainly beat spending all evening backing up and re-installing my data but I have a horrible feeling it won't be that simple...
