    Finally getting around to doing a clean install. This brought up two questions:

    One: I have a red light shinning out of my S/P DIF plug. Is this normal? If it isn't anything I can do to correct it?

    Two: I reinstalled Windows on my SSD. After installing Windows, can I add a second hard drive (non-SSD) after the fact or is it better to do during installation?

    Any input appreciated!
