I would like to do a fresh install of XPsp2 on a new drive but keep my old one as a slave. Can I set the new one up as a master and install windows, then add the old drive back in. Set the old drive as a slave to then move all of my files over to the new drive? I don’t want to keep any of the software; I will install it fresh. Will it try to boot to the slave? I have done many hard drive swaps after failure, but never trying to keep data on the old drive. After the the files are moved to the new drive I will format the old one and use for storage.
Thanks
