Hi, I just have a quick question that I need helping with.
I built my computer about 4 years ago and have been doing upgrades to it ever since and I've decided to replace the motherboard, processor, memory, and video card and I have a question about my hard drive.
If I was to buy a new hard drive could I slave my previous drive? The only thing that worries me is my old drive will have an OS on it, and I worry about conflicting.
Links to new parts:
