Okay I would also like to add another hd, but i was wondering if i could rearrange the letters assigned to each drive. See I have a 60 gig hd partitioned for backup reasons. So I have a C:\ and D:\ drives off the bat add my cd-rom which is E:\ and the floppy drive F:\. I would like to add another hd and make it drive E:\ then switch cd-rom to F:\ and then floppy to G:\. Can i do this if so how?
Thx 4 ne help :D

Thanks to all for your expertise

I have ordered my drive [ as I couldn't find one to download - even on e mule  :P ]

This is the one I got

Western Digital Caviar SE 40Gb UIDE 100 7200rpm 8mb Cache Disk Drive

Now you're all going to tell me it's c**p  :huh:
Excellent choice, in my opinion.

You should have a look at the Hardware Verifieds here though - there's some good stuff. Here's an example:
