Hey I just got my New HD. So my thing is

 

Q: Can I just pop this in and Install FS9 on it right away or Must I have to format the Disk to NTFS. Its a OEM Drive too. I will have my old 250 Gig for backup and the OS on it, and the other for Strictly FS9.

 

Q: What software must I use if I have to?

 

Thanks

Ryan, computer off, plug the new drive in, start the computer.

 

XP should detect the new drive on startup (if it's SATA, haven't had an IDE drive in years, can't remember) and prompt you to format it for NTFS.

 

After that, install FS and away you go.
