PC Questions

Morning all,



Right 2 questions I really need to get of my chest right now.



My pc currently has an 80 GB HD in it. I believe this HD to be SATA due to its small lead, which looks much smaller, then an IDE lead, and there is a red lead leading to the motherboard seemingly into a sata connector. The problem is I have an 80 GB IDE 7200rpm HD that I would like to use as a slave. I could fit this into the tower with an extra carriage, due to there being no space right now. The problem is that the HD I wish to put in as a slave is also running Windows XP home, and I need the documents of it. I do not have any other system to boot it up from, so I would like to get it in boot up of my sata HD get what I want off this HD, format it and use it as a slave.



Any help would be amazing with the above question.



My other question I am running a PCI-Express ATi X700 pro 128mb card, and am getting my tft soon, perhaps with DVI. This is because it seemingly important to have on various sites and have been informed the same by people I know. A close up of the back of my card is attached, I have also attached the applicator for a twin monitor setup but I only plan on using one monitor, I just put it on to prevent it getting lost.



While DVI is not important in my search for my tft, of which I plan to purchase on Wednesday night. I need to be sure what I am buying will suit my purposes as it will be used for intense gaming. Along with this, I also plan on some picture editing. I plan on a £160 one from Aria my only bug bear is not being able to know what mine will look like from them, as they tend to mention a lot, that there tftââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s you see here are the display images actual product may/will look different.



All help with my above questions will be great. Reputation marks all green shall be shared to all.
