When I set up this system I used an old UATA drive, and now I'm getting a SATA drive.
What I wonder is if there is any risk of interface related conflicts in XP (Pro, SP2) if I simply ghost my system partition to the new drive? I'm guessing one good precaution could be to uninstall the IDE drivers to let Windows autodetect the drives on first boot, but other than that?
Not that it's that big a deal if something goes wrong, I'll still have the original install, but asking first can be a good way to save a little work.
