I just added a new 120GB Maxtor hard drive to my compaq presario 5352. I have kept my old drive and now have it in the position of lowly slave(LOL)
here is my first question.
If I use the compaq backup utility....(it is supposed to save a copy of your system to the D drive, which 'used' to be a partitioned area of the 'old' C hard drive) my "old" drive is now labeled D. I have a partition on the new C drive that is labeled E. If I run that backup utility, do you suppose it is going to make the save on the old D drive, or will it make another partition on my new C drive?
I guess I have plenty of room and if it doesn't do what I want I can delete the backup....but I don't want another partition.
Guess I just thought maybe someone would know the answer to this ahead of actually 'trying' it.
thanks
Katy
 
should put backup where you tell it
utility may have option to make partiton
check disc there maybe some pdf or doc files "IE" manual to read
