Since the old drive will not be the primary drive, I don't believe password protection will be an issue.
If the password protection is an issue, you may be able to use the old drive as primary and the new as slave to copy what you need.
My old drive wasn't protected, and I simply copied all my files and so forth to the new one.
Hello,
I have just bought a new computer with Windows XP installed on it and I also have a old hardrive from my old computer(which is now broke). What I was wondering is can I get all my files(work stuff, mp3's and saved games) from the old hardrive to the new one? The old hardrive has 2 accounts on it which are password protected so would this stop me from simply installing the old hardrive as a secondary drive and simply dragging the files to the new one?
Cheers
