Using extra hard drive.

[Charles Dunne]

The eaisest thing to do would be to take the old drive
change the jumpers to set it as a slave drive and install
it in the new system. XP has no problem with the FAT32
file system plus all of your data will be there and you
will get some extra storage for the new system. If you
want to reinstall the drive in the old system just switch
the jumper on the drive back to master and plug it back
in. Just make sure not to alter the windows directory on
the old drive if you want to put it back in the old system.

Hope this helps good luck.
