Suggest you keep that spare 
space as is. Windows always needs space to run. Memory not too good, but always 
thought you should keep at least 10% of the HD space free for applications. 
Seems they always like to use temp files and space needed for 
these.

  Graham, thanks a lot for this valuable 
  information. Before I pursue trying to make my desktop computer 
  use the second hard drive, I would appreciate you, or someone else, 
  offering at least a GUESS  about whether my 1.65 gigs of free space 
  is possibly enough to start using the  TC2k data before 
  I tackle what you have suggested.   BTW, you are confirming 
  what my son is constantly telling me about the "experts".  I have  a 
  hard time understanding why so much "expert" information is not 
  correct.  FWIW my XP pro system does NOT have a crash of freeze 
  problem. Ron D

    Hi
    There are a few things 
    you would need to do. Jope I have it correct have just gone through this 
    m=yself when the "experts" stuffed up installing a new drive on my older 
    computer, motherboard was limited to 40GB and I could only buy 80GB so had 
    to partition it as 2x40GB and install it correctly. One "expert" had told me 
    it could not be done due to the age of my motherboard (~3yrs old), but 
    having broken my teeth in the old days when fast comps were 12MHz and HDs 
    measured in MBs found I had to do it myself anyway.

    1. The hard drives, new 
    and old would need to have the dipswitches set so that the old one is 
    Primary and new is secondary. These settings are available in the 
    information manual you should get with the hard drives, or you can get them 
    from the websites of the manufacturers.
    <FONT 
    face=Arial> 
    2. You would need the 
    comm cable for double hard drives, end conection is the C drive 
    normally (this is wide flat cable with the red edge stripe positioned 
    furthest from the mother board.
    <FONT 
    face=Arial> 
    3. Run Fdisk to set the 
    new drive to be set as usable dos drive (not sure if XP does this 
    for you?) and format the drive
    <FONT

    4. Windows will then 
    recognise the drive and you are in business.

      Sorry about this off topic, but 
      this post below  to TC support was rejected, and don't know who 
      else to ask? TIA for all advice. Ron D

      This was rejected by the TC2k support 
      server.
      My computer's 9.3 gig HD is almost full. It 
      has 1.65 gigs of free space.  I have installed a second HD to handle 
      additional data, but I have not found anyone yet to configure it so 
      that my computer will be able to use this extra HD capacity.
       
      I ordered a TC2k CD 
       that I was told I would be able 
      to download data starting  on Jan 12,2003.  
       
      If I am able to hire someone 
      to make this second 20gig HD available by January 1,2004,
      do you think that It will probably be OK to 
      add TC2k now so that I can start using the TC2k data?  I have 
      XP  pro, and do not have any crashing or freezing problems at 
      all.
