Purchase a drive, preferrably one that is compatible with your IDE controller card.\nSet the jumpers correctly for the drive to be used as a slave drive (will show you in the documentation).\nMount the drive into your system.\nPlug the drive into the IDE cable, should be the next plug down from the master and be labelled as "SLAVE".\nPlug the power supply cable into the drive.\nBoot the computer and install drivers from a disk or from the manufacturer website (the website should have the latest drivers - may be newer than any included with the purchase).\nFormat the drive and partition as necessary.\nYou should be able to access it like any other directory on your system.\nCopy whatever files you want to this drive (not system files or files that are extensions of programs installed on your system drive).\n\nHope this helps.

Put them on different harddisk partitions.  Use a bootloader to pick which one you want to start.  Checkout GRUB (or WinGRUB) as boot loader

Use windows XP, it has its own tool.  Here's the Microsoft Instruction manual for Win XP  and make one for each of your hobbies/interests...  Like one for music, one for games .....   Here's the link:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348\n\nBe careful not to leave the C: drive too small, it fill quickly when you shrink it...   Remember, everything you download update or install, defaults to save on that drive unless you remember to and are permitted, by the program, to change the directory.\n\nI have 3 physical drives.  One for Windows, one for games, one for movies and music.

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 might be multiple partitions, i.e a 2GB C: drive and a 18GB D: drive. If this is the case then you can, of course, still use all of the drive the way it is, but if you wanted to make it all one partition you'd need to format the drive and reinstall windows.

unplug the other external drive, go to device manager and uninstall the usb device with the yellow mark nect to it. then reinstall the software for the napster device, and tehn reboot. when it is finished coming back up, plug in the napster device, let windows find it and install it, then plug up the other external drive, should work

You should just use NT backup program that comes with Windows.  It is located in Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup.  then chose what you want to backup and where.

Can it be done.. Yes.. Recommended.. NO..\n\nI'm assuming Windows XP.  If you want to do this, the second drive can be assigned to a mount point so it appears to be part of the first drive.  For details read:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/dm_modify_access_path.mspx?mfr=true

"All I want to do is burn all my huge video files" \na)Any friend have a a External USB Hard drive? to backup all the stuff.\nb) Purchase a External USB enclousure and insert your hard drive to enable it USB. then do a backup.\nc) Puchase a External USB enclousure and put the DVD burner in it, to do backups with your friends. There a lot of cheaper items on the web.

Use FDISK first to create partitions. At least one primary partition. If you install Win2000 or higher this is part of the installation routine.\n\n-----------\n\nI had this problem once.\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q228888\n\nThe solution is incredibly paradoxical.\n\nIf nothing helps go to the HDD manufacturer site and download the hardware diagnose tool.\n\nto get a picture of your case further details are required.

Your question doesn't have a simple answer; however, if you don't need two computers, the easiest thing to do would be to transplant the HD from the slower machine into the better one.  This way, you'll have both drives available in the same computer, with a minimum of muss 'n fuss :)

go to start, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup.\n\nI also like the program crap cleaner to clean the harddrive. you can find it at filehippo.com. \nAlso to backup your harddrive, you need a dvdrw drive or an external hard drive or cdrw drive to copy your files to another storage space. i recommend the dvds or another hard drive because you'll need a lot of cds! then just burn your files like you would a music cd/dvd.

Yes, update to SP2 and convert your FAT file system to NTFS...it's much better filing system for your OS..\nWhy? Because you installed the OS using NTFS, and the other I would imagine is either another partition, or it's a Slave Drive...You can always reformat it and convert it to NTFS...Always use NTFS for XP operating systems...

The last thing you can do is to copy all your important data to a clean and formatted drive or even another HDD(by making it slave and connectin it to the IDE channel) and then formatting your Windows drive and doing a new Windows installation.
