Hi guy i am new to this pc building and i recently purchased a second sata hdd ( RAPTOR 160GB ) to run my os from ( windows 7) the problem is i want to keep the second drive ( 1.5 tb ) strictly for all my games ,data , and files . and the raptor strictly for the os . here in lies the problem i cant figure out how to jump back and forth to access the games from the second drive , while running the fresh os from the new sata drive ( by the way both are sata) both bios and windows detects both drives .


help ?

Not really sure i understand....

Just install the OS on the Raptor, and format the other drive in windows. Then just simply install games to the 1.5TB drive and have the links on your desktop. No messing about is involved.

ok i installed the windows 7 on the raptor - all other data and games are on the 1.5 - how do i access the games from the 1.5 ? like i said new to this whole thing . how would i go about formating the other drive ?

The games were installed on your previous windows install. The need to be reinstalled under your new installation.

Best bet is to back up data needed on the 1.5TB and format it. After you have backed it up right click in my computer and choose format.
