[computer-tech-support: 7923] Re: Using old hard disks in new system

If you hooked the older 2 into your system as slave drives to the new
one, you will NOT be able to boot into them at all. The only drive you
can boot from is the Master / Primary.
You would be able to access all the files, including the system files,
but booting is impossible.

To access the files from the older drives, just boot into the new
drive and navigate into your old ones under My Computer.
