A: It depends on which operating system you want to install on your second drive. The OS may be Linux (Redhat, debian, ubuntu) and Windows(Xp, Vista, Server 2003). For installing linux versions, during installation select the second harddisk. The device name may be something likethis hdax where x is the number depening on the devices installed on your system. Make sure that you install a boot loader so that you will get the option of selecting operating system when you boot. Second Case, if you want to install Windows, just select the drive to which you want to install and continue.
