Raining_again Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 yeah just pop it on and it should show up on windows - format partitions et voila.
jamesy101 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I have a similar arrangement, one is for windows and system files and the other is my data. It is good for formatting as you can keep all of your data easily.
christophicus Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 But the raptor is sata and i presume the second drive is aswell or possibly sata II,does sata have a master and slave arrangement?
