New HD

Twist86 · 04-05-2008, 02:58 AM

Hey all I have a 160gb SATA drive that works perfectly but I recently obtained a 160gb ATA drive that I want to just use as a storage drive for back ups of my games etc.
Problem I have is when I plug the ATA drive in it boots up as the main HD not my sata. Which is a problem I just want to have it as a 2nd drive so I can drag/drop the files I want to keep on it then power down and unplug it.

Is it possible to run 2 different HDs in such a way? If so how do I do it?
