Got a new HD

[fastwunz]

Right - just ordered this - Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM - should be a good block and will run nicely.

However, im going to leave my current 200GB HD in there which will run the OS and export all my games to this new HD. Now, my current HD is IDE and this new one is SATAII - presumably this wont be a problem?

Obvioulsy ill need to adjust the BIOS to boot from the orignal HD - will windows automatcally asign the new HD with a name such as E: or F: or something? rather than C: which is the current one.

Any help appreciated - ta.

Can you move all your game files onto the new hdd without reinstaling them Anyway you might see a slight performance increase from the new HDD
