First off 6448.6mb is 6.44gb. 1000 conversion. Also, your computer should automatically recognize the second hdd. Hope this helps.

Divide the megabyte value by 1024 to get the gigabyte value (or by 1000 if you want the hdd manufacturer's figures).

To install your second HDD you just need to make sure the jumpers are set up correctly (should be labeled on the drive) and you'll be good to go.
