I am working on a Dell OptiPlex GX240 for someone:<br />
- W2K wtih one 18 GB Drive as c:<br />
- One internal zip drive.<br />
- One internal cd rom<br />
- One external 4mm tape drive<br />
- A lot of important information on this computer.<br />
<br />
I've been looking for a way to slave the new 80GB drive and then extend the c: partition to include the 80BG of space. Is this possible?<br />
This seems to me like to least possible risk solution, since there will be no reinstalling windows, restoring from backup, etc. &nbsp;I can keep the current OS and data intact and just &quot;add&quot; the new drive.<br />
<br />
If my proposed solution isn't possible then any suggestions or tips for the next best (least risk) way of going about adding this new 80GB drive would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Add 80GB Drive to Existing 18GB Drive

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
