[Ham-Computers] Added second hard drive, but.........

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Oops.  Forgot about the drive size limits.  Maybe because I've always done it 
the easier way.  But then since I got rid of the last SCSI drives, I've 
always had all of the drives in the machine (typically six) from the same vendor.

I'll add to what Aaron explained that if your original setup had a single 
hard drive and a single CD or DVD, they were C: and probably D:.  If you would 
rather have the two hard drives be C: and D:, you can use the same system drive 
management software to first reassign the CD/DVD to an unused letter and then 
assign the second HD as D:.  Then go back and change the CD/DVD to E:.
