How to move harddrive to another comp

Post by AMDbeginner »

I have a comp with a 40 gig hd and 100 gig hd. The 40 gig contains the o/s and the 100 gig only stuff. Is there any way.. i can just take the 100 gig out of my comp, which only has files like movies, no o/s, and put it into another comp?
if not, what can i do, so taht i don't lose all the data?
