Hello,

I recently got a new computer with Vista home premium on it already on its hard drive. Would it be possible to add the old drive from my last computer onto this one? I would lke to be able to access my old documents and programs,, but not through the Windows XP I had on the old one.

Is it possible to hook up both hardrives so that I can acces them both through Vista? If so, how would I go a bout doing this?

Thanks

Welcome :)

You can add it as a Slave drive. It will be a data drive. You won't be able to run the XP install that is currently on it.

You will need to set your main HHD Jumper settings and cable to Master and set the new one to Slave
