I recently bought a 120GB hard drive in the hopes of moving everything from my current master drive (20GB) to the bigger one and upgrading to Windows XP. I currently am running Windows 98. The 120 GB drive is a secondary drive.
Everything is set up fine, however, my computer now takes about 10 minutes to fully load my desktop (icons, start/task bar, etc) in 98. Then, when I try to open a new program, the computer stutters/lags until it is open.
Why is it doing this? Do I need more RAM? I currently have 384 MB of RAM.
I also want to eventually upgrade to XP (I want to move everything from the 20GB hard drive to the 120GB one and then upgrade). I've already transferred some things. It's been suggested to me that I use the 120GB drive as the master and install XP on it.. if I do that, can I still have the 20GB one as the slave without removing 98?
This sounds confusing...
Sorry I don't really know what I am talking about... anyone have any ideas?
