Just did this after school today, got out early. Its an old WD Caviar 1.2GB drive, but it looks nicer than my 80GB SATA ones :)

good question, if i had an IDE cable ide do it, everything i have is SATA :)
 
Are you going to use it for your swap file? That way it'll twitch and zoom non-stop.

Looks top notch BTW.

Well, you'd have to put it in first... Then, you setup windows (goto the System Properties page -> Performance -> Swap File) and set it up to use that drive. :)
 
put your swap file on a different physical drive then your drive with operating system and data. Get a performance boost.

I don't happen to have any of those... :p

I do, however, have an old 4 gig Quantum drive that uses normal Phillips screws on the top. If I can open the drive without much fuss, I might see about putting a window in it and setting it up as a swap file drive. Plus, since it's a SCSI drive and I have a long cable, I can use it externally, so it will be visible. ;)

or - you could have 4GB of RAM and use 1GB for a virtual disk and put the swap file there. of course, with 4GB of RAM you don't really need a swap file... :D

Ummm... How do you make a virtual disk in Windows, anyway? I used to know how on a Mac, but...
