Going from XP - Windows 7. SSD question!

[Steve0]

Currently I am running XPpro with two 250GB hard disks, the one with the OS on is about 3/4 full the other is almost empty.

In a few weeks I will be building a new system which will include Windows7 and an SSD drive, the question is.....can I still use my current hd that has xp installed on it? or will I have to format the drive before I can use it with Win7?

I will be going for the 64bit version of windows 7
Ideal would be if I can copy all files and progs from the XP hd onto the almost empty one as I need most of what is on there.

Any help would be great

You will be able to access the old drive. You can try copying across games and applications. They may not work if they depend on registry entries etc.
