Hard Drive Upgrade Time
« on: January 10, 2006, 09:15:00 PM »
It will take FOREVER - don't use this method.  The best way is to copy your C and E with the drive upgrade wizard and then ftp your files to the pc and back to the new hd.  This takes a while also but it pales in comparison to the time that you will waste with the Xenium upgrade wizard.

You should be able to put your ear next to the hard drive and hear it writing to the platters or you can feel the vibration with your hand.  If it does the same stutter constantly then it is hung up.

Took me over 12 hours to upgrade and transfer from 80GB HDD using the wizard. I would not recommend it for large HDD's
