Connecting Desktop to a different Hard Drive

[MrChen]

I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this but I really need help,

One of my hard drive ( local Disk (C) has only 10 GB on it and what ever I download onto my Desktop takes up space in the Hard drive I have a different Hard drive with 150 GB on it and I want to connect the desktop onto that so then it doesn't eat up all my 10 GB because I can't download much! So is there a way to do that? Please help.

Do you have a sata hardrive or ide?

[MrChen]

Both of them is IDE

[j.woody]

you will have to set one to master and the other one to slave. you can find out how to do it on here Guide to Installing IDE devices

Dont I have to install a window if I switch it?

[j.woody]

no as long, as the master drive has it installed

[MrChen]

I'm not sure if it does or not, but my current drive has windowed install, if I chance the 150 gb to the master drive I don't need to install window?

[j.woody]

no, since all the data is still there

[MrChen]

Oh okay Thank you for your time and for all your help!! I'll give you the good news if it works!

[MrChen]

So let me make this clear. I have to go into my Computer and take out the master drive and the slave and switch it?
