Ok...I can't believe I'm actually answering a hardware question....LOL Anyone, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong....but, Andy, what I would do would be remove one of the drives you don't need at this moment....add the new hard drive....copy the data from the old harddrive to the new harddrive....then remove the old hard drive and put the one you took out temporarily back in Is this right?

I'm no hardware expert, but I don't think there's a limit to the number of HDs. I think I have two scsi 10,000 rpms and two more IDE's on one of my old computers. I would, but the 20gig is already connected as well, and I've also got a CD Writer and DVD drive, so I have no spare IDE slots Andy To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
