my last PC (an e-machine with a decent processor, harddrive, memory burners, etc.) started to bite the bullet back in Jan. and I really did not want to spend the money to get it fixed. and I wanted to upgrade the DVD/CD burner processor memory and a few other things as well. I had XP home on it.
BestBuy had a good deal on a HP Pavillion with all of th efeatures I wanted but the problem was it only came with Vista. OK I bite the bullet and get the machine. not too bad I can live with it. now my old machine had died. I believe either the heat sensor or the power supply died.
I want to hook up the hard drive from my old XP machine to my new machine. yes I do know you have to set some jumpers so the new drive is the slave and not the boot disk. my question is is there any potential problems accessing the old drive hooked up inside the new machine running Vista. I still have a lot of stuff stored on that drive that I want to copy off or archive onto DVD/CD.
any suggestions????
