Old HD in New Setup

[pickxx]

I have my hold system drive, and i want to instal it into my new computer. It will be a slave/backup not the primary drive.

Will the windows install on the old computer's drive mess with the new computer? Do i have to set something up in my BIOS? As long as i boot from my new HD and setup my old one as a slave...will i be alright?

It shouldn't mess with anything, you may just want to leave the old drive unplugged until after you have Windows installed on the new drive. This should make sure you don't end up with a boot menu or anything.

I have my new machine running and XP intalled. I just wanted to make sure nothing will be screwed up if i pop in my old HD into my new machine.
It seems like it would be ok, but it doesn't hurt to check
