    Hard drive data transfer!
    « on: November 05, 2011, 12:21:46 PM »
    Hi my computer, dv2000, crashed today due to a graphic card failure,wich is not uncommon for my model. Anyways i have this dv9000 laptop wich can hold 2 hard drives in it, i put the hard drive from the bad laptop and put it in the SLAVE hard drive slot. Is there a way to copy all my files from the SLAVE hard drive to the MASTER hard drive, including Desktop files and My documents to look just like the old pc?

    It copies data files. It can duplicate most of the user settings. However, it might not transfer programs that have to be installed each from its own install CD.

    BTW how did you find a laptop that takes two HDD?

    Of course you will need to adjust the info to your setup but it's basically the same for all PC's...
