Solved plugging old SATA hard disk in AHCI system

[anctop]

My current system is running Win7 with SATA configured as AHCI.
I have an old desktop running WinXP but with SATA configured as IDE.

May I ask : Is it safe (in terms of data reliability) to plug the old WinVista HD in the current system for retrieving data files ?

Why do you mention the XP machine ?

Yes, it`s safe.

I'm sorry, actually I mean the old WinXP HD.

I worry about the risks of data corruption when the file system created by SATA(IDE) is read by SATA(AHCI).
