Answer 2

i don't think either is really better over the other. internal prolly runs faster. set up the switch on the hard drive as slave. there is usually a diagram on the hard drive to show you how to do it. then put it in your computer. there should be an ide cable (gray looking) that plugs into it. also a power chord. just look at your existing hard drive to get an idea. then start up your computer. it should automatically detect it and you will see it show up under my computer. good luck!

Answer 3

Is this in addition to the exisiting drive? If so simply connect to the systems mainboard specify the drive as a slave. Then using windows disk management you can partition the drive or simply format for use as an additional hard drive

Answer 4

A separate drive?
You can install it on a separate partition, or even on the same partition; You can define a boot sequence on a multiboot that specifies the second hard-drive, but once things go wrong, the headache can be worse than any perceived benefit. But it is do-able

Answer 5

A second internal drive would be faster, but an external drive would be easier.
