Q: I had a computer running Windows Vista Home Premium, but the power supply went out and I decided to order a new one anyway. I took the old hard drive out and wanted to install it as an additional drive in my new computer that is being delivered. My concern is whether or not it would simply show up as an extra drive in which I could easily access all my files, or whether it would force me to choose between the 2 versions of Vista since both drives have an operating system installed. I'm guessing that since it's Vista on both of them, that they'd work with each other, but I'm not totally sure. My other concern is that the old computer was running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, and this new one is going to have Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Are there going to be any issues? Anyone have any tips or anything? THANKS!
A: yes you can. however there will be file corruptions and error messagesd for neither hard drive can fully support the other. if you really want to use the other drive as a partition and as a back up file. format first your local c drive then copy all backup files from the other drive to your C: then re4mat the other drive which will stand as your drive D: to the operating system same as your local C: it is much efficient that way!!!!
