I am soon to add a slave hard drive and forsee no problems with that since the computer has recognized and added smaller 200 mb drives before with no hitch. They were used to transfer data from older computers.
What I am going to try is to take the W98, system tools, backup, utility's 3GB bakup.qic file, which backs up everything on the existing 10GB drive and tell it to backup to the added 15GB slave drive and overwrite all existing files. It does this beautifully on the existing drive when problems arrive, and it puts the register on also, which goes with that backup.
Has anyone tried this before, and if so did it work OK, or were there problems. I hope by doing this to be able to switch the master and slave positions and run from the new drive. Any comments or advice would be much appreciated.
My understanding (right or wrong) is that this bakup.qic file puts everything back on the hard drive when it does a full backup with overwrite permission. That would include all system files in any root positions. IF this backup is done from safe mode the only files it cannot backup are three temp files which W98 replaces whenever it looks for them anew. If done in normal mode with all running things task stopped, it can't backup several "in use" windows files.
