What is the best and easy way to swap some of the data on my old Hdd to my new one.The new one will have a new OS put on it but i dont need to put all the data on the new one only some of it. Any help and advice is allways much appreciated. Thanks for your time
Install new OS on new harddrive. Turn off your PC Plug in old hard drive Turn on the PC Go into the BIOS and make sure your PC boots from the NEW hard drive not the old one (there should be a hard drive priority setting that's specific to the hard drive model you bought, this is not boot devices under advanced BIOS options that lists "hard drive" or "floppy" etc) --> F10 (save changes), Enter Boot the PC - it will boot from the new hard drive It will install the old drive as a new device (may require rebooting) Copy over the data Format the old one
