If you want this 60GB to work as your new master with everything running as before, you can't just copy the files over. You need to get your hands on a floppy with Norton's ghostpe on it. Jumper your 60GB the master and your 15GB the slave. Boot from the floppy into ghostpe then run copy disk to disk. MAKE SURE YOU SELECT YOUR 15GB as SOURCE and 60GB AS DESTINATION or you will overwrite everything with nothing. Thats really annoying Once its done you take out the floppy and reboot and presto, your 60GB is your new master with everything as before.
Works about 90% of the time. I always recommend people run their new drive for at least a week before wiping the old one...just in case the ghost has issues. After that if your comfortable that everything is ok you can go ahead and format the 15GB. Use it for backups or MP3's....whatever. Thats about the easiest way to do it.

On a side note to all, I own a computer store in Nanaimo and am more than willing to answer any tech related questions....(hmm may regret that offer but ahh well, I'm getting tons of answers to my reef questions form this great community so.....I'll pay my dues somehow)
