Opps was meant to be a 2nd drive listed and with the CDR/DVD bundle it was the best looking one in stock at aria at the time I had a look for you. But its a matter of preference... I actually never use the CD in my PC apart from burning the odd track to cd so I can hear how awful they sound on my hifi!!!!

With 2 drives make sure they are both SATA, the system is a bit simerlar to memory in that it will run as fast as the slowest component can... and you can get 80GB SATA drives for F*** all these days which is more than adaquate for XP Install....
