I just built new system with new motherboard, processor, etc. I have an
existing IDE interfaced ultra pata hard drive and a new out the box,
serial SATA hard drive.
I want to install the new hard drive with fresh copy of XP professional
but want to make sure I don't accidentally erase my old hard drive. I
now have it plugged into the IDE interface.
How should I proceed with this? After everything's up and running, I
want to then copy my stuff from the old hard drive and just keep it
there using the new hard drive as boot up drive.
Also, do i run the motherboard CD set up disk after I do the XP install
or before?
thank you
