Kind of on the same note, if I put a new HDD(40gb) in my PC and copy all my data to it(pretty much a backup HDD) and reinstall WinXP(120GB HDD), would I be able to access all the data on the 40gb HDD I added when everything is all said and done?

I'm almost positive it will work, but I just want to make sure, so that I don't end up losing 40gb of data.
