Will I encounter problems with XP if I install a new,
larger capacity, hard drives? Any other issues around
such a change?

Hello Bill

No you should not, by the way how are you installing the 2nd drive
as a master or slave. Just remember to correctly set the jumpers on
the drive and that's pretty much it.

Hmm. "Issues"? No, but it depends upon how you plan to configure the new
drive. Is it going to be the PRIMARY-MASTER, a SECONDARY and/or a SLAVE?
In the first case, a complete re-install of XP, SP's, and all programs is
recommended. In the other scenarios, it's a piece of cake.

Please advise.
Ron
