The second: it'll be a separate drive.
It's possible to combine the two drives into one large storage space,
but setting that up is not trivial and could require reinstalling.
Also, if something bad happens to one of the two disks combined in such
a way, you would lose data on both.
Read about LVM if you think you're interested.

I would keep the 4 gig drive for the system, and use the 15 gig drive
for user files.

Microsoft's entry in this cavalcade of horrors is Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP). This is a protocol that allows [...] an end-user system to request a
dynamic port-forwarding from the firewall to the box. Many network
administrators will probably (rightly) recoil at letting applications on a
Windows box dictate firewall policy.
