I have a Gateway 825GM Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz (HT) / 1GB DDR / 250GB SATA HDD / DVD±RW Dual-Layer / DVD-ROM / Media Reader / ATI Radeon X300SE 128MB / Windows XP Media Center 2005
computer and I want a second hard drive.
I heard that I would need to reinstall Windows XP again in order to install a hard drive but my computer didn't come with a Windows XP disk.
How do I install a second hard drive?
Is it easy to do?

don't need to re-install xp when adding a new drive as long as new drive is not the boot drive. read this links about building computers as 1 of them will have the info for adding a 2nd drive & about partitioning & formating the drive to accept info.
