Hello,
I need to change one of my two physical Hard Disk Drives.
It's the first one, with the active partition (C:\) on it. Its 4.5gig in
size. The second existing HDD is 120 gig partitioned into three drives. (F,
G, H, ). This disk hold all my Data. It uses the FAT32 system.
I would like to format the new drive which is also 120 gig. I would then
have two physical HDDs both 120 gig.
My question is this -- After installing the new HDD as the first physical
disk, (formatting & installing Win XP Pro) will it be able to read the Data
on the second physical disk?
I am not bothered about re-installing programs its just the ability to read
Data on the second physical disk.
I have also taken into consideration the XP F.A.S.T. Wizard to transfer
settings etc., on to the new set-up. Also a full data backup is on my list
,too!
Many thanks if you can give me help. Andy Pomfret
