Ahhhhhhhh so that's a SATA drive, I like it. easy to plug in and wires much more neat. It looks like I can have up to three drives, or has that cooking sherry got to me ;-) . I would very much like to move over some of the other drives but the only connection I see is one for the other cdrw drive. I can see no other places for hard drives but for the SATA type? Plus the wires are horrible, they have them all over the insides of the hard drive cases. I cannot for the life of me see how through all that plastic a person can deside how to install a hard drive, it drove me crazy!. I'll keep my other cdrw drives and hard drives for a bit, why was it that the drive that would not install here was the same drive that was the C:\> drive there on the bad computer, me thinking I smell a rat :-)?

You should not need to move anything over from the old computer except maybe the 3.5 inch floppy drive and, if you want a CD-RW in addition to the Super-Multi Drive DVD burner move it too.
