My present configuration has XP Home on a 40GB HD with a 20GB slave (both
IDEs). I've run out of space on both and just purchased a 160 GB SATA drive.
I want to make this 160GB the master on the SATA channel and make the
existing 40 GB the slave after the DVD/CDROM on the IDE channel (eliminate
the 20GB).
Question: After I make the necessary hardware changes and cabling can I
reinstall XP Home on the new 160GB SATA? I've got the XP Install CD (Upgrade
I believe) and product key. Does it matter that the 40GB in the new
configuration will still have XP Home on it when I install XP Home on the
160GB. After the XP install I plan to transfer files over from the 40GB to
the 160 GB and then reformat the 40GB.
