2 networked drives

I have one mybook live on my system already. I got a good deal on a second one and went to hook it up. It has a different drive letter but when I open it it shows the same files as my first drive. Also when go to web page  for drive it shows the old drive. Can you have 2 of these hooked to computer at once.

Sure.

 

Make sure you give the 2nd one a unique device name.

i did rename the drive but  only after the install. It would not let me change it when running the install disc.  Computer still sees it as same drive just 2 diffewrent drive letters. Its like it has same ip address as first drive
