How to Use two hard disks on a single PC?

I have been using 2 HDDs in one comp for several years. One unit is with the operating system and where most of the important activities are performed and the other one is for documents and backups and programs that could not be placed into the master.

not a problem at all.  you can have multiple drives each with its own letter designation

There should not be. In fact, you can mix n match of Floppy, CD RW, CD Player, externals drives all in one Windows Box. That may be true on Linux also.\n\nBut, it may not be true on weird servers from biggies :-)

What you have to do is "slave" your second hard drive. Basicly you attach the hard drives together. One as a master one as a slave. Your computer will recognize the two seprate hard drives and you will be able to put anything on either or . IE you can put all your movies on your 500 gb slave. Here is a step by step tuturial if your trying to do it yourself http://www.ehow.com/how_6030_install-second-hard.html Good luck!

If you already have a computer you can hook it up to, simply install the drive, boot into windows. Once there:\n\nStart -> Right click "my computer" then go to Manage. -> Left side, under Storage, click "Disk Management" -> Right side, you should see multiple hard drives listed. It probably won't have a volumne label or anything (but if it does, just make sure you're not formatting your windows [C:&#92;] drive). Once you've figured out what drive it is, right click it and then left click format. Choose the format type and boom. Done. :)

There are hardware adapters that you can plug two drives into, making them appear as one drive to the host computer.  If you are trying to fake-out a Netgear box that's probably what I'd try.  \n\nSome of the file-sharing appliances include a "backup" function that will duplicate your primary drive nightly to a secondary drive of the same size.  While not RAID 1, it would limit your risk of loss.\n\nThe CHEAPEST way to do this would be soft-RAID on your PC...but I doubt you'd like the performance.  A close second would be to stick any of the Promise-based IDE RAID controllers into your desktop and attach the drives to it.

This is very simple. Just connect both the external hard drives to you laptop. Now both of them should be recognized by your laptop. Now simply drag and drop the files and folders from one drive to another.\n\nHope you find this information useful.

The easiest way would be to take the hard drive out of the laptop and hook it up to another PC.  There's no need to buy anything extra if you've got an extra bay available.  \n\nHere's a good tutorial for it:\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_6030_install-second-hard.html\n\nWhen you're done copying, just unhook it from the data cables and power supply.  That's it.

from the specs of your motherboard, i think you can connect only one more IDE or SATA drive. take a look at the specs below. you are equipped with 1 SATA and 1 IDE port on the MB. That means you can have only one more disk (either IDE or SATA), since you already have 3 devices connected.\n\n......edit edit.....\nit seems the specs stated on the site and as shown on the image are not the same. the website states 2 SATA and 2 IDE ports. That means you can have upto 8 drives. So you can attach around 5 more. Plenty of space on the motherboard. You might have to upgrade your  cabinet though.\n......edit edit.....

You can take the hard drive out of the computer and connect it to another working computer - set the jumper of the back to 'slave'.  That way it will get added as a secondary drive and you can copy all the files you need to that other computer.

Burn it onto a CD or DVD and copy it over.  Connect the two computers together via a network.  Use a thumb drive (up to 1 GB thumb drives are out there).

You will need software for the drives.  I suggest getting a dvd/cd writer external drive that comes with software.. then you can transfer from one puter to another with no problem..

Partition Magic might be able to do it from outside Windows. You can download a free trial version from a link on this page at PC World's website. http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7324,00.asp
