How do you install two hard drives with only one operating system?

You could set them up as a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives). So data would be distributed between the two drives, and they would behave as though they were a single drive. This increases the speed of reading and writing to the drives, and increases file integrity.First you'd want to have a diskette or CD/DVD with the RAID driver and backup your files. You might even want to try installing a RAID driver at this point. Then you'd make the necessary changes in CMOS to allow RAID to work. Then when you get a prompt to hit F10 or whatever to get into the RAID setup, that is where you can migrate your installation to use RAID. If you are only after safety and only have 2 total drives, RAID 1 is recommended. If you have any trouble, you might have to do a repair install of Windows.Or, you can set up a RAID system from scratch. Just set up the CMOS to use RAID and go into the RAID management utility when you see the prompt during boot for that. Then assign the 2 drives to work as one in there. Then you'd install Windows (or whatever) and use the F6 option when prompted by Windows. That is when you'd insert your RAID driver diskette/CD. Then Windows continues installing, using your RAID driver to set it up as a RAID installation.Or, you can just add another hard drive and prepare it with whatever drive preparation utilities you use, whether the stuff from your drive manufacturer and WIndows, or a partition management utility set. Then you can use this second physical hard drive for more storage.
