I recently ran low on hard drive space with my primary HD. I was informed that I would be able to purchase a second HD and copy some larger, less used files to it to free up some space. I purchased a Hitachi 1TB SATA Internal HD. Plugged in the appropriate power supply cable and data cord and connected it to the motherboard. When I started my computer it recognized "new hardware". I am able to locate the new HD in my BIOS but unable to locate it in "my computer". I have 4 data cord plugs on my motherboard with different colors, does that make a difference which one I plug in to? Does it matter if my primary HD is IDE? How can I find the new HD and also what is the easiest way to copy music, picture and video files to the new HD? Better yet, is there a way I could copy ALL of the information to the new HD and not use the smaller one so I do not need to go back and forth between drives?
Thank you for any help in advance,
