Yes you can install a second HD on your computer. There usually is a bay for it, your existing HD cable should have two connectors, one for each of your drives. Then there is the connector for the power. You have to make sure the jumpers are set correctly on the new drive also. How exactly do you want to set this up? Are you going to run Windows only on the first drive and Linux on the new drive? Or Windows and Linux on the first drive and distribute some of Debian onto the second drive? hth, kent
