Summary: Running out of disk space is a common problem to have if you download a lot of music and movies to your computer. When you need more disk space, it is easier to add a second hard drive than it is to replace the existing drive. This procedure is for installing an ATA hard drive in a PC-compatible computer.

on 6/7/2007 How do I retrieve the hard drive. The computer seems to have crashed. I do not want to lose everything I have. I turn the computer on, it goes through the motions like it is going to come on, but it turns off and starts to boot again. Please help. Thanks

on 4/16/2007 I have an HP Pavilion A705W computer with 40G. I am determined to add a second UATA HD(200G)as slave. The problem is that there is no extra bays on the ATX box. Any suggestions. Thank you
