Actually I ripped the IDE 250 out of the other PC. Pulled the jumper and plugged it in. Computer started kept flashing a bunch of random weird crap and shutting itself off. After the 3rd time it booted up and the second drive works fine. WTF? Remember we couldn't get it to recognize it for anything. Oh well, bumped me up to 500gb and have a place to put my stuff now :6

pimptastic, that's kinda weird though. I bet it feels nice having an extra 500gb.

ahh 500 gigs in a desktop is still low by my standards. i like having the 1t on an ubuntu system that works flawlessly. but sucks that i cant use it for anything other than ripping, downloading, music, and programming. but thats the beauty of it. windows on the laptop is gayer than ----, as it just crashed on me last Saturday, lost all my data for that week(backup every week). so i re-installed that ---- and works tits now. just need to make sure i back my ---- up :P

He's got two drives :6

I have 740gb and need more space, next build will be at least 1tb internal with my 500gb external.

I like ubuntu, BUT, windows does everything I need to do without screwing around to make stuff work...and it runs at a speed that I'm satisfied with even though it's on an old overclocked amd 2400. I would love a multiple core proc for encoding though, that's the only thing that disappoints me with my current setup.

Woot got the regular old 32 bit XP loaded. Now having to hunt down all the drivers. Making a folder to keep them in this time so I won't have to do all the bs work next time :7

Yeah, cd of driver pack is awsome for people who reinstall windows for other people :6 The most pissed off driver to not have his network card driver. How can you get other drivers without this one?? :(
