If i install a hard drive in my pc which already has a windows installation as a Slave.... Will i be able to view folders on the hard drive or will it be kinda corrupted? like... say the hard drive im putting into my pc has an installation of vista already on it, and i am adding it as extra storage to a pc which already has XP, if i boot into the XP Hard drive, will i be able to view folders such as Documents etc on the Vista loaded hard drive?

As far as I am aware as long as the boot order is correct in the bios then you will have no problems, Vista still uses NTFS file system so it should just appear to XP as any other NTFS formatted drive e.g. you can access anything.
