Visit the hard drive manufacturers site for cloning software. Clone the 60GB hard drive and put it on the 320.

which hard drive?

the 320 is a maxtor diamondmax21
and the 60 is a western digital wd caviar

Just use the 320 as a slave

would it make the performance of my comp better if the 320 is the manster?

It might make it a little faster but its not going to make a big difference.

As for cloning I think you can use either one. Ive never actually used any of their software but I figure you can use either and clone it to the other. However your not going to notice a big improvement either way.
