Hi there...


My 635Mb IDE HD is now running out of free capacity so I'm planing to
add a second IDE HD. The 635Mb is conected to hda, the ATAPI CDRom Drive
to hdc. What I want is that the 635Mb stays where it is, the second HD
(2 to 5 years old, also IDE, 500 to 1000Mb space) pluged on hdc and the
CDRom on hdd.

So my questions:

Does anyone have experiences with "second hand" harddisks? Where could
occure problems??

Could you recommend special harddisks (fabrikat,type), what HD's not to
buy???

How do I have to reconfigurate my system so that linux recognises the
new HD????????How do I have to change the lilo.config that the new drive
is mounted at boottime????????

How can I move existing datas (programs) from the old drive to the new
one (and not crashing the system)?????????

How would you split the 2 HD's in partitions????????

Are there certain problems with 2 HD's?????????????


thanx to everyone who can help me!!!!!!!!!
