It's one of those "doing it for a relative" deals that ran into time
restraints on a holiday vist.
I'm installing a new Maxtor 80gig to replace a 40gig Fujitsu in a
relative's computer while visiting; don't have all my goodies or a spare
computer to speed up things before I leave. I'd lioke to put the machine
back together before leaving; and I'm getting the 40gig out of the deal
as well......
Both drives are ATA100 or 133; the Gateway is ATA100 but only on the
primary controller. The old drive being replaced is at 70% on C; 33% on
D (both partitioned at 20 gig); all old/new partitions are FAT32/98SE.
The only copy/image software on hand is the MaxBlast CD. It works but is
exceedly slow with the Maxtor as master on the ATA33 secondary
controller. Would there be any major speed (of copy) by going to the
Fuji as master/Maxtor as slave on the promary ATA controller??
The kids (theirs/mine) booted me out of that deal with much complaints
and pleading about emails and such ( I didn't bring the laptop..
arrrgh). I'm able to post now during a snackbreak. Any help?
The existing setup just may make it if I can hijack the machine about
9PM, but I doubt that I can get my hands back on it then to take it
away. I know I can get access to it at midnight.....
Anyway.. is:
1) ATA100 as master(pri) copying to ATA100 as slave (pri)
noticeably faster than
2) ATA100 as master(pri) copying to ATA33 as master (sec)
The other possiblity is faster software ?? MaxBlast is "branded' OnTrac
Drive Tools. I've use it and others in the past and have always thought
it slow. PQ's DriveImage(and Copy) were much faster, and Ghost stiil
fast but not up to DriveCopy . I've got those, *at home* not here.
Does anyone know of trial/lite versions of these or other *fast*
software for drive copy/image use ?
Thanks!
