I'm actually posting this from my old computer (you'll know why in a minute) but anyway,
1. I'm using an 120 GB SSD as my primary drive for things like WIN 7, and other highly used programs, etc - and a second 1 TB HDD for everything else. On my first boot up I only had the SSD plugged in to make sure WIN 7 was installed on that drive(thanks for the tip Mfenn!).
So once windows was done installing, I turned it off and plugged in the second 1 TB drive before booting up again. Now I can see the new 1 TB HDD in the BIOS, along with the SSD, but when I'm in windows and go to Start -> Computer I only see the 120 GB SSD, and not the 1 TB HDD.
2. Pretty much can't connect to the internet on the new system, I've installed all the drivers from the motherboard CD. So I plugged my old computer back in, and I now I can't get on the internet on old computer. I unplugged everything multiple times, restarted modem multiples times and nothing worked, so I took the ethernet cable out of the router and plugged it directly into the modem - and what do you know, it works now. So I'm assuming if I went straight from the computer to the modem with the ethernet on my new computer i'd have connectivity. This means no one else in the house can use the internet though, which makes me think somethings wrong with the router (which i've never had problems with).
Any suggestions?
