Few Questions on adding 2nd hard drive??

Hi All,

Here is my configuration running this as a home system not critical:

Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 18gb SCSI HD. Bought a 160gb EIDE hard drive to add in. I can boot to the SCSI, which is where I have RH9 installed and am using right now. The system see's the hard drive in CMOS and also if I run Hardware Browser as Root, Linux sees it as hda. Here are my questions since I have not done anything like this before and would appreciate some pointers, Please!!!

1. Can I leave my SCSI as my boot drive and then use the EIDE drive as what ever?

2. Since I am going to go to FC4 in the next couple of weeks, would it be better to wait and just reinstall using the EIDE drive as the first drive wipe out the SCSI and use it as needed?

3. If I can leave the SCSI as the first drive can I use fdisk to format hda and then use mkfe2, partition it out and them mount it in /etc/fstab?

If someone could point me to a howto or some other reading that would be great also. I have tried googling and searching the archives, but have not ran across anything like this.

Thanks for the help!!!
