Hello all,

I have a fairly new p4 Dell that has empty bays for extra hard drives. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to add 2 additional drives to make a file storage computer. How would I go about adding these hard drives?
 
Which model dell? Typically, you install the drives physically (screw them in, plug them in), power on and press F2 to get into the BIOS, and, while you're in the BIOS, enable the controller you just plugged the drives into. As for setting them up, that depends on your OS. If its XP, hit [WINDOWS] key and [R], then type "diskmgmt.msc" without the quotes and hit [ENTER]. Go to the uninitialized drive, partition it, and format it.
