Used HDD ?

[Boboy_]

I want to pull out a hdd from another pc without formatting it. When i plug the hdd on my new pc, what will happen ? My current hdd is running out of storage.

are you wanting to replace your current drive or just add it to your current pc for more storage (ie second drive) ?

Do a clean install, if you're going to install windows on it (if it's got an OS on it).

It'll probably crash on you, if you dont

It contains OS in there. What should i do ? Clean? How ?

Format it you need a windows dvd or flash drive

If you going to use it as a boot drive. No point using it for storage if the other hdd is running out of space.

If it's bigger format it and install windows on it

if your only adding into your pc to use as additional storage, assuming there is nothing on that new drive in your system you want to keep) then plug it in boot pc normally got MY PC right click on the drive Format that drive (make sure your not right clicking on your OS drive now.) and format with default settings. and enjoy a new space to use.
