[gui-talk] Disk Drive Questions

[Jude DaShiell]

Does that machine have an empty slot that a DVD drive could use?  If 
yes, you could first buy another hard drive and then buy a drive sled 
system.  The drive sled system would have to be installed at a computer 
shop and has a drive holder connected to power and data cables and lives 
in that slot for the DVD.  That holder has tracks on both sides of it.  
You open the drive sled up and hook up the hard drive inside the sled 
both data and power connections.  Then close the sled up and insert the 
sled into the holder and push all the way back.  Next, you use the key 
you got with your sled to lock the sled inside the sled holder.  Once 
that's done, you have an unformatted extra drive in your machine which 
will not be drive c:.  If you don't have a spare slot for a DVD, you 
need to go for the external drive with drive holder as I wrote earlier 
or go for cloud connection as securely as possible.
