I have a HP Pavilion 500-267C, can I install a second hard drive in this PC?

My turn XP no longer works, but there is some information on the hard drive I want to recover my present

PC uses the Windows 7 operating system. Can my old hard drive be installed in the new HP without ruining the new

computer or the old hard drive?

Yes, implying that the old disks hard XP is in good health.

You can use a USB external hard shore caddy for the old disk or you can directly connect via the SATA port on your motherboard you new computer. 99% of the time there will be connections of additional power from the power supply on your new machine to feed the old drive.

All of this assumes that the old drive is SATA interface _ we IDE, in which case you would need an adapter to connect directly to the new MoBo computers.

I don't think that even though you can check to make sure there is no IDE USB external hard drive caddies.

The top is SATA and the bottom is IDE.
