    I am running windows 10 Pro on ASUS M4n78Pro motherboard

    I am putting in a 320 GB solid state drive as my main drive, and I want to use my WD 500 GB drive for all my storage

    How do I set the second drive so that it will not conflict when the computer boots ups

    Thanks for the time of reading my post and help I may receive

    John

    You make sure the SSD is listed ahead of the HD in the "Boot order" (or similar name) section of your BIOS Setup Menu.

    You need to be more specific. What exactly is happening.

    There is no reason a second drive will "conflict". I have two SSDs in my system, C drive has my OS and all my apps, D drive has downloads, music files and more.

    Did you copy the image from the old drive to the new? You need to do that, or simply reinstall the OS on to the new boot drive from scratch.
