I have 2 PCs 1 which is fairly "modern" (AMD 1Ghz) and 1 which is fairly ancient (P2-333Mhz). I have my boy's games & some files stored on the P2 computer which I was going to attempt to try and port over to the other PC. Then I had this crazy idea of taking the HDD out of the old PC and putting it in the 1Ghz PC as a slave HDD.
Situation:
Old PC: P2-333 operating on Windows 98 protected by Windows Guardian.
Current PC: 1 Ghz operating on Windows Millenium Edition. Am looking to upgrade this PC soon to a better spec, but for the time being need to work with what I have.
I'm computer literate enough to realise that Windows 98 & Guardian need to be erased before I can use it on the Current PC system. How would I go about doing this using the HDD from the old PC in the new PC?? Are there any specific steps to take before taking out the HDD from the old PC and connecting it to the drive cables of the current PC?
Would appreciate any helpful ideas / suggestions / methods of how to do this. Would also save me a lot of time reinstalling several Dorling Kindersley CD-Roms
