So since I've already spent far too much money investing in a PC that smoothly runs TF2, I thought I might as well pimp the sucker out. I found an incredible deal on a 1TB hard drive and I would like to make it my slave drive. However, I'm not all that certain as to how I set it up and if it will even do what I'd like it to do. I'd like the bulk of my things (music, pictures, files, etc) in the slave drive while the master drive runs my games, minor programs and internet needs.

So please, technical gurus, would any of you be kind enough to help a girl out? :D Many thanks!

IDE or SATA?
If sata should just be able to plug it in and have it show up. Only thing to make sure of is that it isn't set to be the primary boot device in the BIOS. It'll probably show up as the E: or F: drive in my computer.

I'm 99.9% sure it's SATA, but I could be wrong... Will I need to install another OS, or can it store my information without one?

Another OS will not be necessary.  It should store it just fine.

Razor, I know you're only replying here because you feel guilty about blowing my sorry Medic behind up last night. :P I'm on to you!

Seriously, though, thank you guys! I really appreciate it! :D By this time next week I'm going to have one wicked PC...

I am not sure if this was answered right but yes you can add it just fine, make sure that you have the jumpers set properly, and that the BIOS is set to secondary or slave.

Well the first three times were really my fault but...Hey HEY WAAIT. That's just rude, lol!

 

On topic though: thank you so much for the information guys, I really appreciate it! :)
