Right, as you know my PC is going tits up.

What Ive done is nicked my dads old hard disk with WinMe on it and took mine out.

It didnt like it at first, it couldnt detect any hard disks.

I had this before when 10GB went missing on my hard disk capaciity, so I knew what to do. I have this 'ultrabios' thing on my machine, and when my PC was delivered, my brother upon diagnosis searching realised the long plug on the motherboard was going into IDE slot three rather than the IDE1. He swapped it to IDE1 and hey presto, job was a good one.

However, all this time since, it said "ultrabios is not installed as there is no disk attached" , but it worked OK.

Anyway, I put my dads hard disk in IDE3 and it worked, ultrabios and all. Thats how Im typing now! lol. I wanna upgrade Me to XP if I have to keep it for the time being, or I may buy a hard disk tommorow afternoon.
Eitherway, I was wondering what you need to do to put a second hard disk in (my old one with winXP on the C: partition) so I could transfer whats left of my contents to the new/dads disk.

Is this possible, or easy?
