You can add your old HDD to you new pc easy just set your old HDD jumper setting to Slave drive and plug it in the spare cable that the new HDD is pluged into. You can not make the two drives become one drive. Eg a 10Gig HDD and a 20Gig HDD will not give you 30Gig of space. it will only give you a C: and a D: drive.
