HDD Question
I just recently purchased a new 320GB HDD for my system which at the moment only has a 60GB. When I go to install it am I going to have to reformat the whole computer am I? Will I have to wipe everything from the 60GB HDD and reload the operating system and everything else or can I just add the new HDD without having to do any of that?
Cake or death?
Cake please.
Well we are all outta cake!

If you plan to keep both the 60 and the new drive then you don't need to do anything. Just plug it in and BIOS should recognize it no problem.

Re: HDD Question
No just plug in the 320GB HDD.
First set the jumper on the back of it to being slave.
Then go to run and type compmgmt.msc
Expand storage and click disk managment.
Right click on the drive and select format.

Good, because when I bought the comp of a buddy of mine I didn't get the OS disc off him
