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.

Hello
You need two cables, one is a sata cable:
This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
The other cable is energy:
http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html
It connects the hard drive to the PSU.
You can also buy a combo like this cable:

All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

Can I install a new HARD drive and use an old backup
Just, I got my new Dell's HARD drive and need to install it in my Dim 9200. Can I use the old hard drive as a backup drive or secondary without deleting anything or reformatting? I have too many things on the old drive and am not crazy about cloning, I prefer to do a clean install of XP and be able to do things more when I feel the need. Is this possible or am I dreaming.
Has never done this before so I need help. Thank you.

After installing the new drive hard SATA and windows installation, etc. and when it works to your satisfaction, put the 'old' drive as the secondary, transfer all the files and folders you need in the new C: / volume, using the option "send to." Providing the old hard drive has no problems, then the format and partition the drive for additional storage.
Note. Only files and folders can be transferred, all programs and applications must be reinstalled from their records, or downloaded from the site of the publishers.
