I have installed a new 640GB hardrive in my desktop as the primary drive and installed my old 80GB hardrive as a slave. I have sucessfully cloned the old drive on the new one. (Acronis Migrate Easy is awesome for this) Now I want to use the old 80GB hardrive as a OS Backup, etc. Would it be best to re-format the old drive and then simply copy across what I want from the new? If so, what are the essential files to copy (OS, etc) in addition to any photo, etc? and where are these essential files found – ie: what folders in particular? And finally – Any good back-up programs out there worth installing?
