Installing master and slave drives
Installing master and slave drives
(OP)
I have recently brought a new computer with Windows XP installed on it and at work I have been getting hard drives from peoples old computers and putting them in their new ones. I have no troubles in doing this but what I do want to know is if my old hardrive has windows 98 installed on it and is installed on my windows XP system as a slave drive will it interupt with windows XP?

The files that are on your old drive will be readable within XP but any programmes installed will not. I suggest backup the files that u want to keep of the old hard drive and format it NTFS and then use it as a storage device within XP.
