question about master and slave drives
How does Master and Slave hard drives work? Is the slave just basically an add on, increasing the maximum capacity for storage of data or is it like a back up drive in case the master drive fails? Or does it do something else?
Would i need to install windows XP on both drives to access them? Sorry still learning.
