Question

Once I install my secondary hard drive what two tasks need to be done?

Answer 1

What is the use for the secondary hard drive?

If it is to run another operating system, such as a Linux flavour or another version of Windows, you would need to:

1) correctly format your drive

2) Install your OS

If you are using the HDD alongside your current OS, you need to:

1) Lower the boot priority of that drive in your BIOS

2) Format your hdd for use in your OS.

(Use NTFS for Windows and HFS+ for OS X)
