Re: [computer-tech-support: 7914] Using old hard disks in new system

What i understood is that you are going to have a third hard disk that will have the new operating system and then use the other 2 hard disks as slaves, so about the data availability, most likely you'll be able to access the data normally and see them as extra drives on the operating system, but there's the case of the old operating system encrypting the files, i think in that case you'll need to do some messing to find it
(windows has the option to encrypt an admin's documents and linux has the option to encrypt the /home folder i think)

Hi,

I'm going to buy a new system, and I have 2 hard disks from my old
system. One is installed with a Linux OS, the other with Windows
Vista.

Will I be able to simply use these 2 hard disks on the new system and
boot up, retaining all my data? If not, how do I transfer the data
from my old hard disks to my new hard disks? My old system is faulty
(no signal to monitor), so I can't just copy everything directly
using, say, a portable hard disk.

Thank you.

Regards,
Rayne
