Adding another drive

[Guest]

Hello geezers, I've just bought a Western Digital 30 Gig 5200, for £90. At
the moment I have a 6.4 drive.
1) Should I keep the 2 drives?
2) If so do I just connect all the cables, or do I need to mess with the
bios etc?
3) If I keep both any ideas on how to partition i.e sizes and what to put on
each partition.
4) Is Partition Magic the best software to partition with?
Hope I've made sense.
Cheers for now

can't just plug them in, need to set one as slave (smaller one I suggest). Look for someone else to help ya partition, did it once and had to play with it a while to figure out fdisk.

Keep both drives, but you might have to play with the jumpers if you're connecting them to the same IDE channel. As for partitioning, for simple partitioning, even FDISK will do.
