Hi mrnepal2012,

 

This document can guide you through the steps to change the boot order in the BIOS: Configuring the Boot Order in the System BIOS. Make sure you install your operating system on the new boot drive before doing anything else.

 

To make your HDD a drive for downloads only, reformat the drive first, to erase the previous operating system installed. If you have two hard drives connected that have the same operating system installed, you might begin experiencing errors in one or both hard drives.

 

Afte the HDD is reformatted, you can select the drive as the default for downloads.

 

I'm happy to answer any further questions you might have.
