Hi,
I recently posted about my new build and I have everything but the case. I am worried about putting my old hard drive in my new computer. Will I need my xp disk? And is this hard to do? Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you!
 
It's best if you have your windows disk with you. You might need to do some recovery from the disk.

It's just a recommendation, but it's better to install a fresh copy of windows on the drive then just moving the it over. Less conflict, and will probably make your system run faster.

Good God man. Using an old hard drive on a new build is like magic to me. Honestly I would rather just buy a new hard drive and CD then go through all the head aches again.
