 I want to install a second hard drive in my MCE 2005 pc. Will MC use both
drives to record on if one becomes full or will it only use one. If it only
uses one, where do you tell it which one to use?

 Look in Media Center under the Settings / General / Recorder Storage. You
can select any drive to store them on - its best to have a nice large second
drive (I'd recommend 300Gb as you can get them for about $100 these days).
You can only record to one drive.

Thanks for the speedy reply.
My main drive is a 250GB and I saw a 200GB on sale this weekend for $40.00.
I thought it would make a good second drive at that price.
