secondary.. the slave drive.
Then it's easy.
I'll assume you're using XP...
Right click on My Computer and choose "Manage".
In the new window, look on the left hand pane and click "Disk Management".
Your new drive will show up as "unallocated space".
Right click on the new drive and choose to "create new partition" and you're off to the races.

sweet thanks
i'd say Seagate
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
I got a 250GB external SG for $60 AR and a 400GB external WD for $100 AR ($40).
I have a $200 internal WD in my Xbox and I think I paid $50 AR for that at the time.
i bought a seagate pata hdd and it was whisper quite, so upgraded to a sata from them, but its the noisiest drive ive heard in a long time. i was really dissapointed
I had an external maxtor break down for me earlier this year, and a couple of older internal ones kept losing sectors or something, a couple of years back.
Might just beverybad luck, tho'
Edit: actually, very bad luck would probably mean explosions of some sort and me losing an eye or something, so scratch that.
EDitII: The noise level on current Samsungs, at least the spinpoints I've tried, is excellent. When I put mine in I thought they weren't working at first, as my fans are loud enough to mask what little sound there is.

Let's hope mine don't do a maxtor then.
WTF i got the HDD, put it in, connected it all fine (the chap at the shop did that), turned the PC on, but it didnt recognize the HDD.. we tried formatting it with a disk... still wouldnt recognize it... what could be the problem???
