Hardware - July 2006

Here's my Question:

How do i add another IDE HDD to my existing PC???

My first HDD (also IDE) is nearly full and i've got an extra HDD that i'd like to add. My main drive is set to MAster, and i have the other HDD set to slave.

But i;m ADDING this new HDD so how will i do that once they are installed.

Will the BIO"s recongize the 2 HDD's and how do i only reformat this new drive only ? ???

i just want to use this smaller drive to hold downlaods. This of course will be on the same PATA cable as my master drive. I DO NOT WANT RAID, just more storage

**Also everything else is only a year old, except for the HDD's (duh!!) my dad was supposed to get me a new SATA HDD but he changed his mind <__<

I have a Intel Celeron D processor and between 37C to 41C is my CPU temperature.

I have a power fan, processor fan, a case fan, and modified it to have 2 more fans, plus a PCI slot fan. That's 6 fans.

The reason I have so much is because it's a server so it runs day and night although I do clean it for dust.

So is that really really good, normal, or needs to be better?
