Can I take my old W2K hard drive -which has a ton of files on it and add it to my XP PC ?
I would still boot off XP drive -Just want to access files on W2K drive.
Thanks

Yes.
Simply install it as a slave drive.

Thanks.
I should add that the master or primary drive in the new PC is a sata drive. I would add the old ide drive which still has W2K os on it into the ide chain as a slave unit .
Will there be any problems I should anticipate ?
