Alright! Finally got a new spanking hard disk! 320 GB of wholesome space, gonna fill it up with music, videos and hopefully some nice recording softwares + softsynths + vstplugins. Setting up this hard disk has been a very very humbling experience. Here's some take aways while doing the installation:

1. I must always remember to set either disks to MASTER and SLAVE mode BEFORE screwing the disks in. And JUMPER does not refer to a button that I can press. It's actually tt wedge-like thingy u stuff onto the back of the disks. There are instructions at pasted on the surface of the disks. READ THEM FIRST.
2. "DEL" is the button I press to get to the computer's BIOS mode. Not F10. Or F12. Or any other F button.
3. I can format my drives in Windows itself. There's is no rush to insert the Windows XP setup disc immediately after connecting the drives.
4. 4GB is not enough space for the Windows partition. I must be conservative and give it 15 GB. What works for other people doesn't necessarily work for me. I am a kiasee person. I must give more leeway.
5. When the internet connection suddenly goes missing, it might be the router's problem. If the router is reset, but it's still gone, then it might be the cable problem. Change a cable and it's still missing, then it might be the ethernet card problem. When it is the ethernet card problem, DO NOT bother with trying to install the drivers and shit. Just open up the comp, and unplug it, and slot it back in. IT WILL WORK.

That's about it. My rollercoaster ride with my hard disk drive. At least now i know how to do it myself. Always love to learn new things, though i always learn them the REALLY REALLY hard way.
