Lavelle;
You can take the old hard drive out of the old computer, assuming nothing is wrong with it, and add it as a slave drive to the new computer. This requires
1: an empty hard drive space in the rack inside the case
2: an IDE hard drive cable with two connectors, or if SATA drives, the SATA connector from the old computer must go onto the second SATA connector on the Motherboard.
3: You must jumper the old drive to the Slave jumper position and the new drive must be jumpered as Master.
4: it gets more complex if the old drive is P-IDE and the new one is SATA technology. Then you will have to setup the proper boot sequence in the BIOS.
If there are any viruses or other hostile programs residing on the old drive they could be reactivated if you inadvertently double click on them.
