Yes, all of that is true and useful. The real problem, though, is that the OP apparently *does not have* a Debian installation at all. They're just sticking a Live USB thingy into a computer and running Debian from that. Debian is not installed on their computer, and they've stated that they have no intention of installing it on their computer -- at least not on the current hard drive which is dedicated to Microsoft Windows. Once we learned that, I pretty much stopped paying attention to anything else they said. I'm guessing that their goal is to keep booting from their Live USB thingy, but to use a second hard drive (which does not exist yet) as some sort of auxiliary storage that will magically hold whatever they want to install. I might suggest that a *better* goal would be to install Debian on the new hard drive (once it exists), and stop booting the Live system.
