What do you do after you install a hard drive and more memory?
If you have replaced the system drive, you have to install an operating system. If you just have added a drive, you need to make sure that the operating system recognized the drive (you can check it the Drive management, Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management). In the Disk Management window you can create partitions and logical drives. After you installed more RAM you have to make sure that your operating system can support that amount. Windows XP, Vista... x32 cannot support more than 3.7Gbs, Windows Xp, Vista and so on x64 can support I believe as much as 64Gbs of RAM. You have to check that memory recognized by the system. You can check in the BIOS or in the System window (Win+Pause).
