New Hard Drive?

[Snickers]

Hi,

I have this as a motherboard: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=19240

I was simply wondering if I have a port to add another hard drive. Currently, only one is installed. I opened up the computer but can't figure out where would the extra SATA port be...

Thanks for your help

That board has 6 SATA slots on it...

Ok, that's what I wanted to confirm but just weren't sure because one of the SATA slot is red and the other ones are red.

Thanks for the quick reply, patio!

No problem...
I happen to have the same MBoard in one of my builds....solid.

So, I got a 250 GB hard drive from Western Digital. I unplugged the computer, plugged it in (the 1TB HDD I have with everything on it is still connected to SATA1) into the SATA 4 port and rebooted the computer.

When I go to My Computer, I can still see my 1 TB HDD but not the other one. I went to Disk Management and I can see my 2 HDDs there. However, my 1 TB one is listed as Healthy and the new one as Unallocated. Do I have to right click and select New Partition?

If so, what do I chose from the New Partition options for my computer to detect it? (I just need to transfer some music and movies onto the newer HDD)

Thank you very much!
