I finally completed the install of a second hard drive, and loaded Windows 7 on it.
I have to say that it was a pita because of the lack of clear instructions.
The physical installation of the HDD in my Antec 900 case was simple. I could have done it in less than 30 minutes if I could have remembered where my extra sata cables were hiding. :)
The problem was loading Win7 on the second drive. I didn't know I needed ISO burner, and it never was clear on the steps to take. Maybe I was wanting a too simplistic approach to the whole thing.
Maybe I can break this down and put it into a complete step by step guide for the next guy.
Anyway, I loaded Win7 on a Western Digital Caviar Black 640gb hard drive. It's unquestionably very fast, but I don't know if it's the better hard drive or the OS that makes it seem fast. :)
