IDE & SATA Data Transferring
Hey,
I have a SATA HDD with two partitions (/;/home). I also have an IDE HDD with an NFTS partition which has Windows XP installed on it.
I want to transfer my music from the IDE HDD to the /home partition on my SATA HDD.
How would I go about transferring these music files to my SATA drive, without using any removable media?
Thanks in Advance
Tom
Also, if I then formatted the IDE HDD (which is quite old; 20GB), would you recommend I use this as swap space?

mount your ntfs drive, make sure you have ntfs support compiled in and then simply
mkdir /mnt/share
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/share
of course remember that hdb1 and /mnt/share are variables...Operating System: GNU Emacs
