Answer» Hey guys good morning or good afternoone I was wondering if someone could give me sum advice on how to move all my data off my old hard drive that has windows on it and move it into a NEW one. Now I WOULD do it manually, but the problem is that the computer the hard drive goes with crashed it’s a old comp so I don’t rely mind for fixing it. I jest got me a new one from fry’s. The hard drive that I removed from my old computer was not old it’s a WD 80 gig, now I was thinking of using a live CD so I can recover my data off the hard drive when I install it on my new Comp, I don’t know if that would work if anyone has sum better advice I would greatly appreciate it.Can you not simply install it as a slave drive, when your new PC is up and RUNNING?ok so once i have XP installed on my new computer i should make my WD 80 GIG a slave and then boot into windows and would show up? would that work even TOUGH the 80GIG has a OS on it wouldn’t it conflict with one and another?If you make sure that your old drive is set to slave , and your bios is set to boot off the primary drive you should have not problem.
And that is problerly what its set to by default , so dont worry to MUCH
