Adding Second Drive

[shelby69]

I have a desktop running xp. I want to add an old drive I have laying around to it as a second drive. Can I simply add second drive as a slave? If so, is it a big problem if me second drive also has xp installed on it? Will computer recognize drive and assign it a new letter, so I can format it from xp? Thanks for all the help.

It should be no problem unless it's a dynamic disk. You can only import a basic disk - if it's dynamic it's gonna have to be repartitioned and formatted anyway using disk management.
