Secondary harddrive

[peter912]

If the primary harddrive gets full would the computer switch to the secondary harddrive automatically ?

No, you will get a warning when it gets low though.

Then how would one inform the computer to start using the secondary harddrive in such a case ?

You can't.


What you will need to do is off-load the stuff on drive one to the second drive manually drag and drop it.

(example is movies/music/porn on 2nd drive and leave games etc on your primary)

When you save something or download a file - click " save as " - and direct it to a file on your second HDD.

You create folders and subfolders on your second drive just like your primary HDD - and direct what you want to be stored there - to be stored there. If you go to "computer" from start menu - you can see what's on each drive by clicking on it. If you look up top - you can see new folder - create some and start organizing your files.

basically you cut files from one hdd and paste them into the other.
