Hi

If I install & format a second sata HD to store things in, what do I need to do to show its partitions in the original boot HD?

thanxs, nick

You don't need to do anything. When you connect it, it will appear in My Computer as a seperate HDD. Just format it there if it needs to be formatted and you'll be ready to use it as storage

I didn't think that you would be able to see it if it was unpartitioned space. If that is the case then go to start control panel/administrative tools/computer management/disk management and choose the unpartitioned space and format it.
