External Hard drive (Bytecc)
Just ordered this from the egg for 33. I plan on using my hard drive from a build. My question is: Can I just put the hard drive with XP Pro already installed in the enclosure or do I have to format it? Without OS installed.

I'm assuming you will be plugging it into a system that has a hard drive with an OS already in it? After you plug it in, just get disk management to recognize it and reformat it.
