Hi,
I have an older computer that is currently running XP on a nice seagate SATA drive. I have my old (problem free) IDE hard drive that still has windows 98SE on it. I'd like to put it in the same computer and use it for my old games. Can I just stick it in there, and attach the IDE cable and power? I probably have to set the boot order to boot frist from the XP drive to get a choice? Am I risking anything here?
Thanks!
Val
