Hi there,i just fried one of my 2 harddrives and wanted to know if I install a new HD (with the second storage HD still installed/in tact and full of flightsim storage stuff) and then WinXP, how can I make sure I don't format the storage HD but the newly installed one?Sorry for this novice question, but I haven't installed an HD and WinXP in a looooong time.Thanks in advance,Pete

Can you tell which one is the good drive with your addons? If so, the easiest way would be simply unplug the power and data cable from it, and then when the Windows installation is finished on the new drive, power down the computer, and plug the drive back in. After that you should be good to go.

Thanks mate, that worked like a charm!Cheers,Pete
