    Default Slaving an Old HD

    Say you're running Vista and you want to get old info off an HD that has Win 95....

    ...Can you slave it off the new HD and access the data in My Computer?

    I'm curious because I don't know how the old data would show up on a drive with an OS installed.

    It'll work no problem. Just make sure the jumpers are set correctly so it boots to the correct drive.

    make sure the slave drive is formated as FAT32, cause if it's formated in NTFS (Vista's favourite file format, just like XP, NT and 2000) well Win98 won't be able to see the drive.
