    You can attach the old hard drive to the new computer, and then it will be easy to copy. The hard disks of old computers are all IDE interfaces, if there are 2 on a data cable, you need to jump the jumper into master and slave respectively. New computers, hard disks have been used serial ports, but generally the motherboard will have an IDE interface, so you take the original hard disk and the data cable together, connect it, you can do it, pay attention to the IDE data cable has an order, you take a look, there is a color on the side, it is 1.

    Connect it to the motherboard and don't get it wrong.

    It can be installed, as long as the cable has an interface (IDE interface) on the motherboard (SATA interface) with Glost to back up the data and import your new hard disk.

    There's also the game client installed in a folder, and then copy the file to another machine. Can I open the game directly, and will the game work properly? It's not installed by the client.,It's copied)This is not necessarily,Some games need to import the registry to run.,It is recommended to back up the registry in the old computer.,Import a new computer.,It's ready to run.。

    Hope it helps, thank you.

    Two hard disks can be attached.

    Just hang the hard disk and copy it directly.,As for whether the game can be opened,It depends on whether your game supports it.。

    If you want to run it directly, you can use the hard disk to take the test.

    For example, the Dwarf Toolbox supports hard disk testing.

    If you're on a local area network, it's better to share and copy the hard disk of your old computer.

    Attach the hard disk to the new computer, but you have to take the jumpers on the 2 hard disks, and it's OK, and you can copy it.

    It depends on whether the host is big enough.

    If you want to transfer data, there is a faster way.

    You have a network cable bar, the two interfaces of the network cable are connected to the network cable interface of the two computers, you know the LAN and the "flying pigeon book" bar (a small software that transmits things quickly in the local area network, very convenient, you can go up and down the Internet), open the flying pigeon respectively, and then you can pass it, generally 10m s

    Hope you can solve the problem.

    More than 2 hard disks can form RAID disk arrays, there are RAID 0, RAID 1 and many kinds, but not every motherboard can, it depends on whether your specific motherboard can support it.

    If you want to transfer to a new computer, it is recommended to use a portable hard disk to transfer it conveniently.

    It is generally not possible to copy the game directly to someone else's machine, because there is no registry written in the C drive. However, some mini-games or green games are fine!

    Look at how many hard disk interface ports there are on the motherboard, and how many interfaces there are in theory, you can connect the corresponding number of hard disk optical drives and solid-state drives (one old-fashioned IDE interface can be connected to two hard disks, and one SATA interface can only be connected to one hard disk, and one interface can be connected to a solid state).

    If the number of hard disk interfaces is insufficient, you can also expand the number of hard disks by converting the PCI-E to SATA interface expansion card.

    Second, the reinstallation system does not need to remove the old mechanical hard disk and reinstall, you can specify which hard disk to install it into, and you can also clone the existing system to the new hard disk directly without reinstalling the system.

    Of course, it depends on your hard disk space, whether it is enough, and whether the motherboard supports it or not.

    If supported, back up the useful data of the old hard drive first, and then remove it after formatting.

    Then put it on another machine, reinstall the system, put it in the old hard disk, and when backing up the data of the old hard disk, it is recommended to put the data in the USB flash drive or mobile phone memory card, and then disassemble the system.

    A computer can have two mechanical hard disks, three or four are all possible, as long as the motherboard hard disk interface is enough, and the internal space of the chassis is large enough, a larger mechanical hard disk can be installed.

    Ordinary home computer desktop main chassis can be installed with multiple mechanical hard disks, like you, you can first install the new hard disk, reinstall the system once, install the system on the new hard disk, and then boot the system from the new hard disk, and then back up the data on the original old hard disk, and format the system disk of the original old hard disk.

    "Most computers can have multiple hard drives. There are two main factors that determine whether a computer can install two hard disks: 1. Whether the computer motherboard has reserved multiple hard disk interfaces.

    The chipset used in the general computer system supports multiple storage, so basically 99% of motherboards also reserve the interface of multiple hard disks, except for a few specially customized models. Second, the second determining factor is the physical layout of the computer.

    Hello, of course this is possible, as long as the power supply and motherboard of the computer support several, then you can use a few mechanical hard disks, two is definitely possible.

    Can I have two hard disks in a computer?

    a-..I want to move files from my old HDD to a new HDD. Don't be in a hurry to move files, partition the new hard disk when the original hard disk of the computer and the system is easy to use

    Partition the new hard disk according to the needs of the installation system (note that the C drive is not too small, 150G is definitely reasonable, the software is large in the non-XP era, and the running space is also needed). And then:

    b- Then remove the original hard disk and attach the new hard disk to the interface data of the original hard disk.

    C-Now the new hard disk starts to make the system It is convenient and fast to install the system using the U tool disk. After the installation is complete and the system is operating normally:

    d-Hang the removed hard disk to other hard disk interfaces on the motherboard for a long time, or temporarily use the 'hard disk enclosure, hard disk base, and eBay cable to read the original hard disk, copy, move, and paste.

    d- If the original hard disk is not faulty, you can simply leave the original hard disk hanging on the motherboard for a long time and use it as a 'storage' disk. Of course, the new hard disk is very large, and it is also very convenient to copy the original hard disk and put it in. It's up to you to think about the rational use of resources.

    A computer host can install 2 hard disks, how many hard disk interfaces on your computer can be installed as many hard disks, and the location of the computer optical drive can also be used to install hard disks, so there are many notebooks to remove the optical drive and replace it with a hard disk to install it.

    The IDE interface on the motherboard can connect two hard disks (i.e., master disk and slave disk), and the motherboard has two IDE ports, i.e., IDE1 and IDE2, so theoretically, one PC can connect four hard drives.

    If you use an adapter card, you can connect more drives. Finally, for the installation of multiple hard drives, it is a dual hard drive installation because the hard disk installation on IDE1 and IDE2 is exactly the same.

    Before you start installing a dual hard drive, there are a few things that you need to consider first. The first is whether the space is enough, please install the second hard disk; Secondly, whether the power supply is sufficient. If the computer is running low on power, the drive head keeps resetting and the drive gets corrupted.

    When installing a dual hard drive, keep the following in mind:

    1. When adding or upgrading hard drives, try to use the same hard drive with the same brand first.

    Because the compatibility of different brands of hard drives may occur on the same hard drive. The workaround is to put the new hard drive on the second hard drive. If you must use the same hard drive cable, change the primary drive of both hard drives according to the relationship.

    Also, if you connect the newly added hard disk and optical drive** to a second hard drive, be aware of the primary device of the optical drive, etc., and the slave disk settings will not conflict with the newly added hard disk.

    Otherwise, the motherboard may not be able to detect other hard drives or find issues with the original optical drive.

    2. Pay attention to the problem of letter interlacing.

    In the case of multiple partitions, the order in which the hard drive partitions are divided is somewhat strange: the computer still treats the main partition of the main hard drive as the C drive, and the main partition of the second hard drive as the D drive, and then the other in the first drive.

    These partitions are sequentially separated from the E drive, then the other partitions of the second hard drive, and then the last drive letter of the first hard drive is converted in turn. After installing dual hard drives, it may cause system or some software abnormalities.

    As long as the computer is supported by the motherboard, the power supply is sufficient. It is possible to install multiple HDDs. Generally, the motherboard can be plugged into 4 SATA ports, and 4 hard disks can be connected if fully utilized.

    Multiple hard disks can be installed independently in different partitions of different hard disks, or they can be combined to form disk arrays. How to install and what array to assemble into depends on your own needs.

    If you do what you say, you want to migrate the data as it is. With Disk Genius's disk cloning feature, you can copy all the data on the disk to a new hard drive. The system can also be moved as it is.

    Yes, desktops generally have 4 hard disk interfaces. You don't need to remove the old hard drive when you connect it. You only need to select the new hard disk when you redo the system, and then set the boot new hard disk in the BIOS to be Qidong disk.

    A computer can definitely use two mechanical hard drives. In fact, how many hard disks you use depends on how many interfaces your motherboard has, and normally speaking, the average computer can support 4 to 6 mechanical hard disks. You can use the new hard drive as the main hard drive for the system.

    Then hook up the old hard drive and move the data over. Personally, I think it's best to buy an SSD as the main hard drive. In this way, you don't need to move data to the new hard drive, just use the old hard drive to hang it on the computer.

    Yes, you can. Connect the data cable to another IDE interface of the motherboard, and the second hard disk will be used as a slave disk, and the general motherboard has at least 4 SATA ports, which can be combined with a solid state disk or a mechanical disk. Connect the data cable to another IDE port on the motherboard.

    Yes, there are usually 4 to 8 SATA ports on the motherboard. It is recommended that you unplug the old hard disk first, and then connect the old hard disk to the old hard disk after installing the system to prevent data loss during installation.
