Installing XP Pro on new HDD

[Plato]

Hi all

I am installing a new 80Gb HDD as a second drive. Is there an
easy/preferred way to instal XP Pro on the new disc and boot from the new
disc?

I want to keep the data (but not Win XP Pro) on the old disc.

Thanks.

Hi,

With only the new drive installed, set it up as a master. Boot the WinXP CD,
start the installation. When finished, hook the old drive up as a slave,
copy data over.
