I have a 120 gig drive that is rapidly getting filled up so I'm thinking about getting a new WD 2000JB 200 gig to transfer everything to and then use the 120 as a slave. I have an ATA133 motherboard so I should be fine there. I have Win2K Pro SP3 and I went through and did this registry edit found at WD's site (pasting it below). Will this be everything I need or are there any other foreseeable problems with adding this drive? What I'm going to do is ghost everything to the new drive.
