    Hello


       I have two WD800JB Caviar HDD 80G each , would it be easier (as far as formatting and o/s install) on a real pc rookie  to just install one instead of two?   

    If and when i ever finish putting this pc together , then what?  I have been reading about
    i have to format the hdd (its new) using the software provided by the hdd manufacturer , well there is no software all i got from newegg was the two hdds.  What will happen when i turn computer on for first time?  And what do i do when and if it boots up?

    When she blows will it ruin all the new parts MB , CPU , heatsink , FDD , CD_RW , HDD and video card and memory sticks or just the MB and CPU?
    help me out if you can

    PS: Does hdd  , cd-rw , and fans hook up to the 4-pin Peripheral Power Connectors?
