If you only have local hard drives, then, you should only have drive letters
as a location to download to. If the second hard drive is not partitioned
and formatted, it will not be recognized, and, there will be no drive letter
assigned to it.

What does your age have to do with it? Age is no barrier to learning
about computers. I'm almost four years older than you, but I'm not new
to computers.

Are you able to access the second drive and use it for anything else?
If not, it's possible that you haven't formatted the drive yet, so the
computer won't see it and give it to you as an option.

Assuming that the drive *is* accessible, whenever you download a file,
a dialog box opens showing where it is going to download the file. If
you just click OK, it goes to whatever it was set at (the last place
you downloaded to). All you have to do is navigate to wherever you
want to save it--some folder on the second drive or anyplace else you
want--before clicking OK.
