old hard drive - 12/25/2006 9:13:19
When I take my old hard drive out of my old computer and mount it in an external box, do I have to remove the operating system from it before I can access it from my new computer? In other words, will the new computer be confused by the old operating system on the external hard drive?

I bought an enclosure from Radio Shack for $39 and installed my old 40GB hard drive in it and it works great. I copied all my documents over to it and now I feel good about having backed up my files (finally). I had to set the jumper to "Master" to ge my computer to recognize it but it works just fine in that configuration.
