Hello,
Simpler solution would be to  buy an external 
USB drive, I bought a WD 120 gig drive at CompUSA for about $150.  Plugged 
it into my laptop running XP Pro and it was recognized right away, it is already 
formatted so I could immediately start archiving data to it.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.
