Moving Data

I need to move some data (about 1-2gb of music, word, excel, ppt docs) to a different computer...but the one they are on now is not working...all of these docs are on a secondary (slave) hdd without windows on it, so i can just stick it right in as a slave to the HDD in the computer i need them to get to and not have to configure anything to be able to access them correct?

As long as the file system on the drive is compatible with the version of Windows you're running, yes.

For FAT32, you'll need Windows 95 OSR 2 and up (98/Me/2000/XP). For a NTFS you have to kinda get the same OS as before (there are at least three different, older versions of NTFS), though I think Win2000 and xp will have no problems. If you want to read NTFS in win 98/Me, you can use NTFSDos, which is a free program that allows you to read your NTFS drives under 98/Me, but not write.
