Hi, I work with alot of gb's of graphics, and i am wanting to add a second hard drive, (not sure internal or external). My question is if my main HD i am using now is master using C Drive, if i add a second HD can i save to it, from the main(master c drive). Ala like i am downloading some psp tubes but i want them saved to the slave hard drive, can that be done using the master hard drive.
Hope i haven't confused anyone.
Thanks
Dawn
 
Sure you can. Once you add the drive and format it, it acts just like the remaining open space on your C: drive. When you want to save to it, simply browse to the new drive in the "Save As" box and put it in whatever folder you want (you'll have to create folders on the new drive obviously).
 
If the "main" hard drive is labeled as "C:", then the new (slave) will be labeled as "D:". You can copy from C to D, and from D to C, just as you would copy from C to a floppy (A).
