Hey people, I've upgraded video cards, sound cards, ram, and hard drives in computers before, BUT I never rigged up a system with 2 hard drives, so now I ask the question to all of you.

Rite now, on my system, I have an 80 gig hard drive running everything on my system and I wanna pop in an older 60 gig hard drive in as just a storage drive. It currently has my operating system and old files on from before I upgraded to my new drive.

So, my questions are, for one, when I add the drive, what do I set the jumper as, slave ??? AND do I change my main hard drive to master AND then once it's all setup, I just go into windows explorer and right click and format it there OR do it some other way.

I know that these are stupid questions, but like i say, I never dinked with this stuff before, I'm only a webmaster and basic upgrader, ha ha ha. I just wanna make sure that I don't fuck anything up.
