Hi,I have 3 HDD's in my system, I want to replace the smallest HDD with a new one.What is the easiest way of getting all the data (inc OS) from the old drive to the new one.Also, any recommendations on a new HDD?, my mobo supports SATA, would this be worth going for?, also can I use SATA and normal IDE drives at the same time?, the other 2 HDD's are just normal IDE drives.Thanks in advanceDan.

For a new drive i would suggest Western Digital. I don't think you can use SATA and IDE at the same time, but you can try it. How big is your HDD? and what Os are you running? I'm thinking if its not too big, you could copy all the data to another drive and then retransfer the data to the new one after its formatted.
