Installing Second HDD
I want a second HDD in my computer with XP. This is what I propose and where I am. Please advise if this will not work.
I have installed Win 7, and all desired software in my new Emachines 320 G HDD with 4 G RAM. I have the old HDD from the old computer. 160 G. I would like to clean install XP on the second (old) HDD. First I plan to delete all data on the HDD and reformat. Install the HDD, go to BIOS and boot second HDD. The only XP disk I could get (lost mine in a move) is an upgrade from 98 which I have. Load 98. Load the upgrade XP over that and have an XP system that I can boot from BIOS. Then load my old programs that will not run in 7.
Will this work?
