| | Re: Move Vista to another harddisk Depending if you want to move Vista physically to the other disk then a disk partition software might help. If you just want to swap the drive letters in windows > just change the jumpers on the back of the 2 drives(swapping them around) > and swap the IDE/SATA cables on them. (obviously doing all this with the comp off, unplugged, and not having a static charge on your person). XP must be off the other drive though. A hap-hazard way would be to change them in windows registry.
