Thanks, Rik.  I was hoping that I could find a 
witness to say what I wanted to hear.  Ron D

  If 
  you do the normal install and run the history data from the CD you should have 
  plenty of room.

  You 
  can probably even get away with putting the data on the hard 
  drive.

    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

      <FONT 
face=Arial>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. 
      
      <FONT 
      face=Arial> 
      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 
      face=Arial> 
      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.
