Question about multipule hard drives
Hey guys I want to have a seperate hard drive for a Linux operating system and I want to keep my current hard drive that contains Windows XP and all my games and stuff on it. Anyways, I am pretty new to computers hardware and stuff so I was wondering how my computer would act with 2 hard drives in it and how it would work when I go to boot it up. Does a prompt come up asking me which hard drive I want to boot from at start-up? Also, are systems with more than one hard drive more crash prone? Basically, I dont want to re partition my current hard drive because it is to small and I want to get another hard drive for Red Hat Linux, but I have never used a machine with more than one hard drive. Anyways, some help would be appriciated...Also, before I forget, I was looking at this product and I was wondering what it does: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&sku=V133-1146
