Upgrading Exteral Hard Drives

Stanzen · 2010-02-19 21:20:39

This might seem like a bit of a noob question but anyways... I'm up grading from a 320GB external hard drive to a 1.5TB external hard drive. I want to transfer all my files (pics/videos/music...etc) What is the easiest way to do this? Straight forward copy? Does Windows have built in software for this? I'm running windows…

Use copy and paste . Do one folder at a time to be on the safe side. And when you are happy you have all the folders on your new drive you can then delete them from original drive.
