  1. Adding a second HD


    I would like to add the HD from my previous desktop to my new desktop. The few articles I've read have only to do with a NEW HD, not a loaded one and require formatting which I fear will erase the HD. Is this doable? Both are system 10.

    Any links would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    :)

    From Admin command prompt:
    1. diskpart

    3. select disk # ====> From step 2
    4. clean
    5. exit
