formatting old hdd

[Deleted]

Hi there!

I just finished assembling my new computer and installing windows and all that jazz. The only hard drive connected to my computer is my m4 ssd. I've got my old hdd from my previous build lying around and I'd like to add it for storage.
Problem is the old drive isn't formatted. It's got windows installed on it along with all of my old stuff. I assume in order to use I'll have to format but exactly how do I do that?
Will the fact that both hard drives have windows installed on them cause any problems when trying to format the old drive ?

Not at all, as long as your SSD is the first boot priority it won't cause any hassle.

Just slap in the windows disc and boot via the DVD, and format your old HDD and it'll be clean in a second.

You can also just connect your HDD when booting up and format it by rightclicking it in "Computer" and format it, but the DVD way is recommended.
