Do I need to reinstall the system when adding a hard drive to my computer?

Do not reinstall the system when adding a hard drive to the computer. There is already a system in the original system. Now add a hard drive. There is no need to redo the system. You only need to connect the hard drive. If it is an IDE hard drive, you need to pay attention to the master and slave disks. Settings, if it is a SATA hard disk, you need to pay attention to the startup sequence.

Installation steps
