okay, my old pc has 2 harddrives, a c (10g) and d (40gig). so the 40gig one is full of files and music and shit i want on my new pc, but the computer is so fucked up it craches whenever i try to open up a program. so im thinking what if i took the hdd out of the old pc and ut it in the new one, would that works. im wondering since i have 2 250g sata goiung on RAID0 and would it work still with another one? and i mean i have some programs installed on it too, would they work on this pc, cuz some of them i allready have on the c drive of new pc :/
you can install the old drive on the new computer and access the data files but you can't run the old programs ; they need to be reinstalled in the new computer the old computer what OS has?? it is the same OS as the new computer?
judging from the fact the C drive is 10G, im assuming that it is the drive the OS is installed on. The D being 40, yeah you can do that. Take it out, look around for the pins on the outter edge, you need to set the drive to SLAVE and then shove it in your new PC.
^ nah i got windows installed on C, which is why im not bothering with it. i had D for files and shit. thanx for the help u two, will do it 2morrow morning
by the way, be careful when you put the drive in as slave. windows has a tendinency of being retarded and saying the drive isnt formatted and asks you if you want to,. obviously say no.
if you dont know already. right click on my computer-manage-storage-disk management local you may have to do this to access the drive.
