I am 
running TC2000 with history data on the hard drive. The entire TC2000 folder is 
about 500 megs.

  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.

      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.
