How do I transfer the needed files to make my Slave a
Master so that I can use it in another computer as a
Master?

Transferring files is not required. The difference between master and slave
lies in the position of the jumpers on the back of the drive. Your drive
should have come with a manual or some kind of documentation that displays
positions of the jumper(s?) when in Master, Slave, or CS positions. You'll
be able to take it out of your computer as a slave, move the jumpers, and
toss it in the new computer as a master, no problem. Of course, this doesn't
mean you'll be able to boot from it - that's another story. But it will be a
master. Google will help you with that.
