2hard Drives On 1 Comp

[terry830]

will it give me another drive letter for the new hd, or will they interact as one with 1 drive letter?

You will Get Another Drive Letter Mate.

[Somebody1234]

It will show up as another drive in 'My Computer'.

You can also partition the drive into several sections and have (for example) D:, E:, F: and G: . Your main drive can also have partitions so that it 'appears' that you have lots of drives.

Btw. This thread should be in 'Hardwareworld'.

Yeah Mostly It Will Use The Next Letter After Ur First Hard Drive..... Eg. 1st Hard Drive Is C: So It Will Make It D: , Unless You Have Other Drives

[a4tech]

Note if your c: drive is partitioned already then your new drive will be d: and the previous partition which was d: will become e: and files may no longer work because of this u will have to copy them to the new d: drive and so on it u had more than one partion. No way to change the drive letters a quirk of windows.

But partioning your new drive ie d: will not affect the c: drive providing it wasn't partitioned.

If you got a drive c: most ppl have you will get a drive d:. you can then resize it or add a new drive letter, with powerquest partition magic.
