Ok heres my dilemma. I bought a computer almost 3 years ago. It had a 120 gig hard drive. I installed a 160gig as storage. Now, I want to take out the 120 gig one and replace it with a 200 gig. Heres the problem, I never recieved any motherboard cd, or anything else. So, If I take out my original, leaving the storage one alone, and put a new one in as primary, will I only need the windows xp cd? Or, do I need drivers, and cds? ( I have a sony rscv 420 for refrence) And another question, When I installed my 160 gig, I had to add drivers or something to my original. So does the storage hard drive need to be formatted before I add drivers?
Also, this is going to sound weird. I have about 60 gigs of things I need to put onto my 200 which will be new primary, but I have to take out the storage one and install the current primary, take all the information off, format it, then put the 160 back in. ( I only have 30 gigs left on my 160.) So yeah, is it safe to do this?
