Subject: Re: DriveSpace

Mount the old drive as your second hard drive, preferably using the secondary port and IRQ, which is the simplest way. Alternatively, mount it as a slave drive on the main port by setting the jumpers on the new drive to tell it there is a slave and the jumpers on the old drive to designate it as a slave. (This method doesn't always work as there can be incompatibilities if the old and new drives aren't from the same manufacturer.)
The old drive will appear as drive D, displacing any secondary partitions on the new drive and a CD-ROM if one exists.
Use DriveSpace to uncompress the old drive.
Better luck going forward!
