I'm thinking of buying a second hard drive for my PC. I would much rather have an internal hard drive than an external (I use songwriting software that works much better like with an internal hard drive). I'm just worried that if my PC crashes I will lose ALL the data on both hard drives. Advice? Thanks in advance:)

If you PC crashes, you should't have a problem. What you have to worry about is the hard drive crashing or going bad. You should always back up important data on an external media such as CD or DVD, external drives are good for backing up too and is much faster than the CD or DVD.
All of the data on your hard drive should stay in tact. Even if you have to restore Windows for some reason, you shouldn't lose your data unless you reformat the drive.

yea you wont erase anythign as far as i know. but if you do everything in the harddrive should be easy to recover. its been known to recover 100% of the files but i think it depends on where you go!
