I am getting tired of screwing my main computer up & having to reformat my HD. When it completely locks up, those restore points don't help much. There's nothing wrong with the system, it's just something wrong with me. I use this system for LOTS of downloads & LOTS of "experiments", which prove to be catastrophic about once every 2 or 3 months.
So, after my most recent reformat (yesterday), I decided to try to add a 3rd HD..to be used strictly for storing the semi-massive amount of useless data I don't like to lose.
I have a 2nd small HD already on the "slave" of the primary IDE, which is used exclusively as 3/4 of my system page-file. I don't want to change that.
What I am contemplating is putting the 3rd HD on the "slave" of the CD's IDE channel, with the CD being the "master", as it is now.
Will this work OK? This 3rd HD will be used ONLY for storage, so won't be accessed often & I can live with some lessening of CD performance.
Whatch ya thank?? Will it or won't it. Thanks.
