re: 2 hard drives Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at 12:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (23825 messages posted) Most new motherboards allow you to connect to 8 IDE hard drives; with a scsi controller, you could add up to 15 drives for each controller. I currently have three, have had four. Having one giant drive instead of two smaller drives is really pretty dumb, so you are on the right track. No sense in having "all off your eggs in one basket." It's a good idea to backup your system on a regular basis, it's very conveneint to use a drive image software like Norton Ghost to make an image file of one parition to a separate hard drive.
