I just bought a 2TB external hard drive calls GoFlex made by Seagate. I would like to take the files off of my 500 Gig FreeAgent by Seagate and put them on the 2TB GoFlex. I installed the software that came with the 2TB it looks to be working just fine. But when I connect them both to my computer it only allows one of the external hard drives to show up. They both show up as the (I drive.

The 2TB one is USB 3.0 and the 500 gig is USB 2.0 if that matters.

So how can I move the files from one to the next while having both connected to my computer? I am running Windows 7

 
First connect only one drive, then go to the drive management and ASSIGN it a different drive letter...

then attach the second drive, and you should be good to go...

Change, add, or remove a drive letter
