After a quick glance at my sig, you'll see that my system is being held back by 2 slow HDs. So I figured I'm going to sink some money into some Maxtor ATA-100/7200rpm HDs. I have several questions though:

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.
