    hello,

    im running out of hard drive space. i have a 80Gb and a 200GB drive.
    the 200 is from another computer, and the 80GB(slave) is on this one.

    i think if i copy all the files from the other 200 to the 80 drive then plug it back in the computer will it work?

    no, ok ill explain.
    there is another section of your hdd you cant see called your master boot record. It holds a pointer of where to first start executing on that partition. You can copy your mbr so no you cant.

    why not plug both in at once?
