?install new IDE as not 'c' drive?

well if its the only HDD on the IDE cable then you will set it as MASTER and put it on the far end of the cable.

BIOS you will have the boot order set to scsi first (or at least before IDE)
as long as IDE is after scsi it should be fine (perhaps its called ATA in the bios i can't remember)

since you have a scsi drive as your primary drive you should be able to format and partition in the operating system itself (e.g. in the WinXP tool if you use winXP that is)

that should set you up.
p.s. if you want to add ANOTHER HDD then you would set it too master (if on a seperate cord) or slave if in the middle connector of the same cord as the first.


because the SCSI is already your c drive then the new one will not be!!!


hope that helps (p.s. it is relatively easy)

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
