well, I am confused now too... if I have a 10 gig drive with Win 2000 on it right now in Fat 32 tell me this: 1. can I install a second HD (40 gigs) for data, files, graphics etc... 2. leave win 2000 on the 10 gig but uninstall all programs and data and put them all on the 40 gig drive so that only win 2000 is on the 10 gig drive? Will I be able to access stuff this way? And, when I reinstall actual programs...do I do the install on the 10 gig drive or the 40 gig drive? Yikes...I am lost! :)
