Running 2 hard drives

Running two hard drives is easy. What's needed is connecting an extra hard drive on your motherboard. It can be either a SATA and or a IDE connection. Once the new hard drive is plugged in (the motherboard automatically detects it) enter into your computer BIOS and change the boot order.

The BIOS software is built into the PC, and is the first code run by a PC when powered on, access by pressing a specific key when the computer boots up, before the operating system is loaded .

Usually the original hard drive is listed first. Change the boot order so the new hard drive is listed as first boot, make sure an operating system CD is insert and reboot the computer. Once the computer restarts the new hard drive will boot and the operating system will install.

To change back to the old hard drive go back to BIOS and change the boot order.
