Hello Everyone.

Any help on this matter would be fantastic.

First of i brought a pc 2 years ago now cheap simple one from PC World.
Its not the best but it does me just fine. My problem is is that i am a bit of a horder, if i se a install that i like or might use one day i install it and likewise with my music movies etc.
Finally i ran out or my 160gb HDD abd looked at buying a new one. i Brought a Seagate Barracuda 7200 etc. HDD 500gb which would do me perfectly.

I came to installing it and found that both my sata drives were taken with old HDD and my DVD Drive. i went a brought a SATA controller which plugs into your pci ports.

This now gives me 2 more SATA Drives. I later installed my HDD and first it didnt work but later found out it was because it was unformatted.

Now my other problem is that i want to transfer alll my installs, windows, Files, Data etc onto my new 500gb drive and have that as my Primary drive and my 160gb as a secondary back up file drive. I open the bios to load my 500gb first and all that comes up is a line of letters and pictures and it goes no further. What im asking is How can i swap over everything so everytihng will load and everyting works straight away, installing everything again is a definate no no.

I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit. i do not have a boot disk as it came preinstalled and do not no where i can get one.

Any help would be great.

Sorry for the Essay but i thought as much information as poss would be the best bet in this situation.

Also I have not done anything with Bios as i am unable to do it due to lack of knowledge.

Thanks for the time reading
