Oem Bare Drive Instalation

[Supernatural]

It doesn't have to be on the same channel as the master HD. I have my secondary HD slave to the CD-ROM.

Healimonster: When you say the D:/ drive is your "motherboard crap", what exactly do you mean by that? Shouldn't the D:/ drive be the new HD?

[healimonster]

actually for what ever reason the d drive is part of my c-drive.

i don't understand it... but the d-drive is where all the system crap is stored.

Regardless. I figured every thing out and now i am cooking with gas.

I have moved several folders to my new drive and have clean out parts of my old drive.

All is well.

thank you all for your help.

Sounds like your primary HD is partitioned in 2. You probably have a Compaq, they are all like that.

mines aint. got compaq notebook.
or u only meaning desktop?

I've never seen a Compaq notebook, but all the Compaq presario desktops I've seen have the HD split in 2.

You got that right.

I do have a compaq.

and i did finally correctly installed my new slave drive as an F drive.

Everything works great.

I now watch movies off of my new drive ... on my new tv in my living room via an x10.com video sender, and have a remote that can pause my player.

80 bucks for the drive 70 bucks for the wireless sender.

end product, priceless.

Edit:

thanks for all the help

i wouldn't have thought to do it with out your help.
