hard drive again

[Char Jackson]

Hi, Char.

You probably are right. As I said, I've never used them. Someone long ago
commented they were eSATA and I never questioned it. Especially since my
User's Manual says that these two "optional" connectors "enable you to
connect Serial ATA HDDs or optical drives type with e-SATA." The wording
for the first 6 connectors is identical - but without those last 2 words. I
just now took the cover off and looked at the mobo: they sure look like the
other SATA connectors to me. ;^}

You got it, eSata connectors look quite different. Sorry for the
sidetrack.

Adding to the pile

What do you have on the old drive? Do you plan to continue using it?

Basically, it is a good idea to use the smaller of the two drives to hold
Windows and any installed apps. A drive having 160GB will be more than
enoug for this. The larger drive is used to keep your data files, that is,
the
files that you create using your applications, such as Word, Excel,
Powerpoint,
etc.

Good luck with your project!!! Saga
