Worried I may crash my system

[Lethath67]

Hi,
I have a question.
I built my own system. Win 7 64bit...ect ect..

I have a 120GB SSD Drive on SATA and it has my OS on it.

What I want to do instead of buying a new Hard Drive to add more storage is to take an older 1TB Western Digital Hard Drive out of my previous system (SATA) and just add it to my New one.

The old one has a Win 7 64bit OS on it also already. Will that conflict when I install it and boot up my system as it can't boot two seperate Drives? I also want to just format the old one and set it up to just store more files ect.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

Make sure in your motherboard's BIOS that your SSD is selected as the 1st boot device and you shouldn't have a problem.

Once you boot into Windows then go into Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive letter of your HDD, and Quick format the drive.
