Steps to follow;1. Build your "new" computer with new hard-drive
2. add the *old* drive as "secundary" or "slave". There are usually two connectors on the HDD cable, allowing you to do this.WARNING: You will need to figure out the correct jumper settings for the *old* drive. These may be found on the drive itself, or on the manufacturer's web-site.
3. Install Linux distro of your choice. It is important that you follow instructions as you proceed. At some point, you will
have to 'format' your harddrive (as you would with a Windows install).
Your *new* drive is known to Linux as "hda", and the *old* drive
as hdb (Linux has no "C:"-drive).4. Now, with a bit of luck, your distro of choice will automagically
recognize your *old* drive as "windows"-partition, and might even create a link on your desktop, allowing you to access your old data.If not:
5. Open file manager of your choice, go to /mnt directory. Your windows drive may appear here. Some distros use the /media location
I will follow this thread
Good luck!
