Hi I don’t know much, but I’m getting a new computer tomorrow. I want to take my old HD out and put it in my new computer. I just want to move some data from the old to the new then remove the old from the case again. I’m not 100 % sure on how I do this. Do i just open the case connect power and ide cable under the originally HD then boot up? Then will it show the new “c:” and the old “d:” there?
Or after I physically connect do I go into bios and make sure the new HD is a master and the old one is the slave? Then reboot? I just want to know because I donÂ’t want to try this then find out XP automatically fdisks the old disk losing everything...
Thanks for any help guys!!
