Internal vs. External hard drives question...

Advertisements [?]

Right now I have a relatively new Dell computer. 40 Gig hard drive.

However, I also have an external USB connected 80GB hard drive to store all my music. However, at this point that is almost full and I want to upgrade to a bigger hard drive.

If I get an internal one (mostly because they are less expensive than the external ones), can I have it exist independently of my C: drive which has all my permanent programs, etc. on it?

What I'm getting at is right now my external drive is my G: and exists entirely apart from my C: drive. Would an additional internal drive work the same way?
