Hi there, as the title really.

Basically in my new machine I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and all is going good but what I want to know is, I have a 250gb hard drive in my old xp machine and I have roughly 200gb of media files on that hard drive and I really want to keep all them files so can I take the 250gb hard drive from the xp machine and put it in my windows 7 machine and leave it there and use all the files ?
The windows xp OS is also installed on the hard drive so I'm just wondering if it might cause problems in my new set up ?

So best to try copy the files over or just use hard drive as mentioned ?

Thanks :)

Thanks for the reply.

So at the minute on my machine I'm using 3 sata power devices, my boot hard drive, a second 1TB hard drive and my optical drive, all 3 are sata powered and use sata cables. The drive I'm taking from the xp machine is 4 pin molex powered but uses a sata cable so I should be ok to just power and connect it up in new machine and I should see all files ?

I don't need any app's ect.. from the drive, I just want the video_ts folders and files ect...

Thanks

Excellent, thanks very much for the info :)
