I just finished setting up a SATA RAID array , and decided that I also wanted to use my older IDE HDD for media storage. The older IDE still has an old XP installation on it. My question is, if I just want to use the HDD for storage of files, is it OK to simply delete the windows and program files folders? I am going to reformat the IDE eventually, but for now there are some things left on there I want to keep on there, so I dont want to format it yet. Is it safe to delete those folders? Also, will having another HDD hooked up slow me down at all? Benchmarks, file access, etc.
