I plan on building a new computer but I want to use the optical drives and hard drives that I have in my current computer. What I want to know is if itÂ’s possible to install all this new hardware without formatting my hard drives. If it is possible, could someone tell me how to go about doing this? If not possible, could you tell me why? All comments on my chosen components are welcome, thx guys. IÂ’m running windows XP professional on one hard drive and fedora core 5 on the other, using Grub as the boot loader.
