re: Question about 'Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM)' Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 1:52 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Larry (4 messages posted) OK, I do understand the issues at hand here, Im sure its a different IDE controller chipset, the new MotherBoard has an onboard Processor that is close to twice as fast so that could be the problem. In typical HIA fashion I didnt back up my data and having to reformat and install is still turning my stomach. Question: I have another hard drive I could reload XP onto, if I stuck my existing hard drive on their as a second hard drive, will I be able to get to my data?
