Re: will a new os wipe out my hard drive?
You should be fine adding the additional hard drive. Be sure when you add it in, to set the jumper on the drive as a slave, and if it's SATA, you'll want to go into the BIOS and ensure that the SATA port on the motherboard that you're using is enabled. If you bought a lower end machine, I would ensure that you have another port available before you purchase the drive. If you need any assistance when actually installing the drive, PM me.
