Adrian - if you connect the second external drive via USB, it will show up in 'My Computer' as a drive, and you can just use cut and paste from your other drive to the new one - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins06@xxxxxxx> To: "access uk" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 10:23 AM Subject: [access-uk] transferring lots of data | Hi | | I would like to get a second external hard drive but I'm not sure how to | transfer or copy a lot of data from one external drive to another. I use a | laptop, there are three built in usb ports, but I am also using a pcimcia | card which gives me another four usb ports. What is the best way of | connecting the second drive to my pc? | | Copying 90 plus gigs of data would take a while.
