Getting new system. I am going to have WinXP Pro on the new system. Will adding my old drives cause any problems?

Make sure your power supply can handle the additional load, and you will probably be fine.

PC Power & Cooling 510 asl, should be good to go. I was worried about the formerly installed Win XP Home installation on the old HDD.

Also keep in mind that if they are on the same IDE channel(if they ARE ide) , they will run at the slower speed of the two (if they are different).
