Hey all.. I have /somewhat/ of a problem.
I want to sell my current rig. But that involves 1. backing up and 2. deleting about 120x2 GB of data (200 gb total really). So fine, I'm going to be getting 2x 200 GB Sata drive sin my new system hopefully... BUT I have no idea how I'm going to transfer my old data to my new!
I can't sell my current rig until my data is safe and sound . How does one suggest I go about this... I'm going to have to get an SATA RAID card anyhow, since the k7d master has no onboard SATA + raid support, so could I just 1. buy the SATA RAID card and one of the hard drives now, have it sent to me, install it in a pci slot, hook up my current drives to my mobo via ide, and have windows detect both the SATA drives, and the IDE drives and transfer the files from the IDE to the sata drives?
That'd be nifty. UNless someone can suggest a dual socket A board with good overclocking features with onboard LAn under $250. That'd also be nifty.
Anyhow, tell me if this is feasible please. Thanks folks,
