Dual boot question

[crazymofo16321]

I'll be getting a new PC soon, but i want to keep my old IDE Hard drive with XP on it, If i just stick it in my system, driver clean the old ATI drivers, put in Nvidia ones will it work? (going from x800xl to 8800gtx) I also will be purchasing a Seagate 7200.10 750gb SATA hdd which ill use with Vista and the old hard drive for a dual boot system. Will this work? I really want to keep my old hard drive as i cant be bothered/dont have the time to redownload everything on there.

Thanks.

I may just avoid complication and use just the SATA and buy a new OEM XP and get vista later when crysis comes out. If I install XP to the fresh SATA drive, can i plug my old one in and copy the files over? won't it will just give me a xp proffesional (old) /xp Home (new) dual boot menu? If i do this and just create a new partition for vista when it comes out will it all turn out alright?

Thanks for the advice!
