How many Windows licenses do you have?

 

[gregrocker]

You can use the free Acronis premium cloning app available whenever a Seagate HD is involved: Seagate Acronis cloning free util

Use the auto clone feature detailed in the Manual which is on the download site.

greg!if i use that a copy it will i be able to boot windows from each hdd!the 2nd drive is a maxtor not a seagate?

Only one of the HD's needs to be Seagate to use the cloning app.

Please write in full sentences so we know what you did that is causing the complaints about slow performance. Are your drivers up to date on that HD? Check optional Windows Update.

Quick lingo is not seen very well around here. It makes the job of the helpers unnecessarily more complicated.
