The lightweight software installed quickly and easily, allowed me to choose the size of the partition(s) on the new drive (I went with one large partition) and formatted all 750 GB in a couple of seconds. Then came the cool part: did I want to set up the new drive as a backup drive, copy all of the information off the old drive and make the new drive the primary drive, or do all of that copying and wipe the old drive clean? Worried about losing my data, I chose to go with option number two and watched as the software took about 10 minutes to copy 40 GB of data from the IDE drive to the new Seagate drive. Another change in the BIOS and I was in business, with the Seagate drive running as the primary drive..
