Then moving this to primary, and use the 2nd drive and do it again

Or use the drive to do the 2nd drive also, and then just stick them both in after
So if I understand what you are saying, you simply remove the second drive, insert the new larger drive configures either as Slave or CS depending on what the current second drive is, then power it up. I believe you are saying it will automatically recognize the new second drive, then format it and make it ready for use including putting the OS on it. Then again change out the primary drive, change the Slave to Primary (or CS) and insert the second new drive in and let it again format and copy the OS to it. Do I understand you correctly?

Thanks, Wayne
