Question about adding 2nd. HD - 30/09/2001 02:59
Hi all.
I would like to add a second HD to my Rio. I've already read the FAQ but I still have some small questions.
The FAQ states that if you also want to change your first drive you'll have to put in the new drive and use the developers image on the drive.
The way I see it, the only reason this developers image is needed instead of the consumer one is because of it's possibility to boot to a linux prompt and then having the ability to copy the files from drive to drive.
Now, if I wanted to upgrade my Rio with two entirely NEW drives, and I don't care for copying the old files over, then can I just add the first drive, format it, add second drive, format it put consumer image on first HD, then put consumer image on second HD and be done with it? Or is there any other specific reason to use the developer image instead of the consumer one?
