I'd be lazy and copy it over a network connection :-)
Try out some quick arithmetic, taking my own installation as an example:
I can copy over the network at, say, 10MB/s, so we're looking at well under 2
hours to copy your 60 GBs.
If I plug the HD into my machine, my HD data transfer peaks at 40Mb/s, so say
1/2hr to copy... but count the time needed:
- to remove the PC case and plug in the correct cables.
- boot up, set up and check the new hardware in Mandrake.
- then to remove the HD at the end and re-install the case.
Try running the calculations yourself, and be lazy ;-)
