I've been thinking about getting the John Milton disk mod
and getting two hard drives. I'd like to get about a 100MB
(formatted) drive with under 20ms access time. Then, I want
to retire my current 67MB(formatted) drive and use it for
news only. It has served me well these last three years, but
I think it's time to move on (plus, it is fragmented as hell).
Anyway, what I am wondering, is: What is the least painful way
to copy my entire 67MB drive to the 100MB drive and then make
the 100MB drive my new root drive? Keep in mind that I want to
somehow unfragment the files in the process, so I think using
dd is out of the questiong.
Also, any comments or suggestions concerning my choice of new
drive would be appreciated...
