Hi, i've bought all what i need to re-build my pc. I was just wondering if what i am planning to will actually work.

1. install XP Pro onto the SATA without the IDE Plugged in.
2. Plug the IDE in as Secondary, then transfer all the data from the IDE to the SATA
3. Unplug the SATA, re-format the IDE
4. Plug SATA in and the IDE and then put some of the data originally from the IDE back onto the IDE.

Sorry if it's a bit confusing, im hoping it will work for me, please leave your opinion.
