Building new computer, quick question

[SkunkButt]

What do I need to do to take an existing harddrive out of an old computer, and
put it in a new one. I'm building a new computer, but I'm going to use some existing
items.(It's for my dad) I heard something about deleting the IDE drivers. The OS is
Win98

Having tried to keep the existing data on a hard drive I re-used I can tell you from personal experience that you'll want to re-format the whole darned thing and start with a fresh, clean slate (on both win98 & win2k). Otherwise you're setting yourself up for hours of headaches and will eventually do it anyway. Back up what you want to save and then go from there...

just be sure to backup and reformat
