Hi,

I am building a new comp soon and I have a internal hard drive in my current computer which I plan on moving to my new computer...Will I lose all the data on that hard drive when I install it in the new comp? This hard drive with not be my primary.

Thanks :)

If the data is on a seperate partition to the OS or seperate Hard Drive then it should be OK. If you are worried then dont even plug it in while installing the OS, then there should be no chance of accidentially formating the wrong drive.
