Second Hard Drive

Comment:

Just a simple question that is probably pretty basic but I'm a little confused. I am going to add a second hard drive as a slave to store music (i'm transferring a LP collection to MP3), the question is does the slave drive have to have an operating system, or can I drag and drop files onto just a formated drive? Thanks for any advise. Richard

No OS needed. Just format, drag and dribble. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Thanks I thought I remembered that was the way it was but wasn't sure. Richard

... it's a surprisingly common question, but sure - only one OS per computer is necessary Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie!'... till you can find a rock
