If you've got an IDE ribbon cable that can connect 2 drives to the Qube IDE
port, I'd try making your 13Gb the slave and the 2Gb the master, boot on the
2Gb original and see if you can mount the 13Gb as a slave on the Qube.  If
you can, then I believe it should work.  You might have trouble spinning up
both drives on the Qube 2 power supply... I've made this work in the past by
powering up, letting both spin up, then do a quick power cycle to reset and
boot.

None of this is recommended by Cobalt.  This could hurt your drives and
system.  The above advice is that of an individual without his Cobalt hat
on.
