defrag
setup the 30 as slave
boot to dos
fdisk the 30 (0ption 5)
make the primary dos active
setup your other partitions
format new partitions
reboot to windows
shut down everything except explorer (alt+ctrl+del)
the primary on the 30 will be D
the other partions on the 30 will start after the last
partition on the 15
start, run, type" xcopy32 c:\ D:\ /e/c/f/h/r/k/s" (without the quotes) enter
you will see a dos window
when it is done do the same for the other drives
bearing in mind the drive letters
after all partitions are copied, shutdown, remove the 15, change the 30 to master (might have to temporarily change it to only, depending on brand. WD is like that.)
do the cmos thing
boot to windows, make sure everything is copasetic.
might have to redo your swap settings.
shutdown, set the 15 up as slave 30 as master
boot to dos
fdisk (option 5)
delete all partitions on the 15
setup an extended dos partition on the whole drive and make logical drives as you please
reboot to windows and format the partitions on 15
good luck
