1) For the same amount of money, I can get either a 60 GB or 2x30 GB HDs. Which way should I go?
2) After I have the new HD's:
a) Should I just copy the contents of the old one into the new one? Is there a utility that can make exact copies of 2 HD's of different sizes? The consideration here is that I don't have to reinstall Win98 and all the other software.
b) Should I start a clean install of Win? If so, what should I prepare? (Disks, drivers, backups?)
Thanks for the help.
I would go for the 2 30's if you have a Raid card or you have raid support on your mobo. If not and you really need that much space go for the 60. Although it is a pain in the *** i think i would do a fresh install get all the goobers out of your computer
