using the same operating system...

[thebattosai]

i have a pc now with 1 hard drive(eide). I am about to put together a custom computer with a new SATA 320 gig drive.

i am not sure if i can find a operating system now and dont really have the funds to buy a new one....

can i jus use my old hard drive in the computer i use now and set it to the first boot device ...and use that as the normal operating system and use the 320 gig drive as storage( jus as a normal hard drive) ?

No you don't. Just repair the OS if you don't want to go through reinstalling everything. Not as "clean", but works just fine.
