    Hi, I'm a computer noob. I have a 12 year old retail-purchased PC that came with WinXP Home pre-installed on the 160GB hard drive.

    Hey there. I'm thinking I'm going to purchase a new hard drive to Install Windows 7 on. My idea is to simply swap the jumpers on my existing primary hard drive to make it a slave drive and not worry about backing up my existing data. Seems simple enough, which makes it scary that I can't...
