If one elects imaging, I guess it wouldn't matter, but I'm hard pressed to see why anyone would use imaging if they are going to use two hard drives.

I believe we've beat this horse to death, and it's getting very redundant, making the same points over and over.

It's all explained here:

thanks for your suggestion, thats true we kinda beat this thing to death, but i was just trying to figure out what would be the best and easy way of doing it, kinda like taking a poll, what im trying to do it to replaced my laptops internal drive,( i have all my itunes music on this drive approx. 5,500 ) since i'm kinda running out of space, (19 gb left ) with a bigger one. i only have 1 ext. drive where all my kma files are stored..but anyway thanks..for everybody's suggestion..
