If your new computer's motherboard will support your drive. But I would save transfer the files you want to keep and then reformate your old drive with out the OS.

Cool, so just transfer them to the other drive and format the old one?

Lol, all this talk about relocators, and wizards...

If your new computer has a master drive in it already, just snap your old one in as a slave and use it.

Of course, if it's your old C-drive, with windows installed on it, that might be a problem. But you could still do it, then transfer that which you wanted to keep to your NEW drive, then reformat the old one and have two drive now.

I've always used Symantec Ghost for this type of thing.
