I have no problems with hard drive other than wanting to know if I should
have win xp on both drives. the original drive was named c and now it is the
slave and named d:. the new larger drive is master and named c: . my
desktop defaults to d: and so does it any time it add programs instead of
defaulting to new drive c:. should it be this way? should i take win xp off
slave drive? thanks
