Hey don't worry Parmo it's not the first time it's happened and it won't be the last. :D

Ok you can either set it as Primary Slave on the same IDE as your 30GB or, presuming you have a CD/DVD ROM drive on IDE 1, set it as Secondary Slave.

If you want to leave Windows on the 30GB which I would you could format the 250Gb in partitions for say Programs, Pics etc.
