Second Hard Drive on XP

Hi
I have just installed a 2nd hard drive (80gb) as a slave alongside the original (40gb) master on an XP Home OS.
I want to know the easiest and best way to utilise the second hard drive. Ideally I would like to leave XP on the master and transfer all of my docs etc onto the new HD. I would also like to know whether it would be a good idea to move the program files over to the new HD and if so what procedure I will have to go through to make it all happen.

If what I am suggesting sounds ludicrous then please suggest a better solution(s).

Many thanks

Toby.

Sounds good Par1033. I will try it this evening.

Just a suggestion: before you start MOVING things around, make an image of "C" (i.e. using GHOST) first! That way, if anything goes wrong you can always go back to the beginning without any damage!

Rule of thumb: ALWAYS make an image before experimenting. It saves time, your data, and a lot of heartache.
