I just built a tower to use as a Server, but now need to convert it into a PC on the network for various reasons. I will be installing XP Pro as the OS and adding a floppy drive & DVD Burner to the tower. It currently has (2) 1TB Hard Drives mirrored running Linux SME 7.4 Server software. What is the best way to install XP Pro and take full advantage of the 2 large hard drives? This is all new to me so I'm learning as I go here.

Thanks!

Why not just use one drive for the OS and apps, and the other for storage? What will be the PC's role on the network anyway?
