So have I gotten this right, you are getting another harddrive to add into your computer, should not be any problem, depends a little on your motherboard but I hink there as good as always is room for two hdd's or more. The trouble should be configuring the second drive to a slave, there are a patter of little things on the back of the hdd, these need to be organized in a certain way to show it it's a slave. i think there should be info about this with the hdd or the motherboard, there is a name for that but I'm to tired to remeber it... but the main thing... there shouldn't be any trouble... other than the usual...

now when you say the "usual", What do you mean? I know what the jumper configuration is, that's not a problem. but how will I access the secondary drive? and I still have more questions.

I really did not understand your problem. You say you know the jumper settings, right? Obviously one will be the master and one will be the slave. Question of accessing, simple you will see your drives in the bootup screen, secondly after login, you will see all your partitions in my computer. I hope I have answered your question, if not? please be a little descriptive and I will be happy to help you..:) And yes waiting for more.............
