    Hello all, could someone help with a question I have . On a new pc, with a new HD and fresh . new installation of Windows. Would it harm anything to add my old HD from the previous PC, which still contains a Windows OEM installation to the new pc and use as just another drive . thanks.

    If you slave it up and don't alter your boot.ini file, then I don't see any issues.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Windows will see the old-new drive as just another drive. You can then use that drive for storage.
    Believing yourself to be secure only takes one cracker to dispel your belief.
