Hard Drive Question

[Matt]

All-
Can you take a slave drive (160) gigabit Samsung HDD out of an XP Pro
box and hook it up to a Server 2003 box and be able to read the
contents of the drive? I'm curious because I would like to take all
the digital media (photos, music, video, etc) from the xp and make it
available on the server. Thanks, Matt

Sure. You might need to take ownership of the files, although probably not.

If the server has an available interface for the drive, yes. You may
have to reconfigure it, depending on what type of drive it is
(IDE/SATA).

I plan on running it off of a High Point HPT3xx ATA RAID Controller.
What do you mean by reconfigure?
