my mother board is a M7NCD Pro with the AMD processor that can overclock real well with it... i think it's the 1.4 GHZ one... i forget, anyway... i appreciate everyones replies, you all are very helpful.
in time, yes i'm going to get another HD, but for now i wanted to use my wife's old 10gb HD.. it's junk but it would hold me over for a month or two until i can get a 80 Plus GB. hers is one from an HP thats OLD.
i have just 20GB hard drive and want to add a second HD to store movies, music, etc...
i have a 10GB which could hold me over for a month or two, but when i put that one in the cpu does not boot.... obviously i'm doing something wrong, but what?
thanks for the reply... this dvd burner is dual layer and filehippo.com has a few decoder programs... my main concern was the audio cable... but if thats not an issue hopefully i'm good to go.
i recently (today) bought an el-cheapo dvd burner on ebay without reading the description real good... it says it does not come with an "audio cable"... it's an internal dvd player...i thought it hooked up just like a cd drive...
also, all i am going to use this drive for is to burn "back up"...
