Re: Adding 2nd SATA HDD

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As I said it depends on the controler/driver as to how you configure the hd.
You therefore need to read the manual

Does it make any difference that it is non-raid. My MB supports RAID but,
as
i was unsure how this works i left it as non raid.

Would it be better to set up as a RAID drive or leave it as is?

Many thanks for your help.

Its little to do with win

I just want to know if there is anything i should know about adding a
2nd
SATA HDD.

Will i be able to use it as a file storage area through my current XP
setup
or do i need to install a copy of XP onto this drive and use it as a
2nd
operating system.

Will it cause any problems with my computer because if it does the
wife
will
kill me.

Many Thanks.

Paul
