Making old slave a master

[Gas Panic!]

Hi,

I currently have:

1 x IDE Master with Windows
1 x IDE Slave with data

1 x new SATA drive

I'm going to install Windows on the SATA drive, as the IDE Master has died. Will I lose my data on the IDE Slave if I just set it to Master and continue using it as a data drive? And then can I add another Slave in the future if needed?

Thanks.

Yep, just changed the jumper settings + position on cable and all was good.

Thanks guys.
