Right, I've ordered my second HDD, its bigger and faster than my current one, so, should i install windows on to it and use it is my primary HDD, or should i just use it as my media disk?

If i use it as my primary, will getting songs, videos, pictures etc out of my current 'My Documents' be an easy or hard task? i.e. will they be locked, i remember this happening to me on a previous rig.
 
I'd use the new HD considering it will be less 'worn' & might be faster.

Since new one will be empty, why not try cloning old one to it. Plug-it-in solo to test if successfully done then format old one & use it for media, backup, etc :)

how successful is cloning though? My friend did that and he just got a load of errors after about a week so was forced to do a format!
