[X-Newbies] how to seamlessly use added hard drive

[Chris Beamis]

Okay, I now have near success.  Got SuperDuper, copied the boot drive  
over to the new big drive and made it the boot drive, and now in the  
Finder window it says 319GB free whereas before it said 3.1GB free.   
So I'm using the new drive.  The only problem I'm having is that I  
can't seem to move the new drive to the end of the data cable.  When  
i put it there the machine won't boot, but if I leave it in the slave  
connector (position #2) it will boot with or without the other drive  
connected.  Problem is I want to put it on the end and put the old  
smaller one in the middle for temporary so I can clean it off for  
sale.  Does anyone know how to do that?  The jumper switches for both  
of them remain in the Cable Select position.

Thanks,
Chris
