Once i install my secondary hard drive what two tasks need to be done?

What is the use for the secondary hard drive?

If it is to run another operating system, such as a Linux flavour or another version of Windows, you would need to:

1) correctly format your drive

2) Install your OS

If you are using the HDD alongside your current OS, you need to:

1) Lower the boot priority of that drive in your BIOS

2) Format your hdd for use in your OS.

(Use NTFS for Windows and HFS+ for OS X)
