Re: OT - Need Some PC Advice
It shouldn't matter one way or the other; the OS installer asks you which drive to use, and warns you if there is an OS already on it.
You probably need to put the new drive in the first SATA port, to make sure it comes up first in the BIOS. This will prevent any weirdness like Windows setting up the new partition on the new disk as "Drive D" instead of the more canonical "Drive C."
If you want to be absolutely safe, it couldn't hurt to disconnect the old drive entirely during the installation on the new drive.
