I would remove the old hard drive first jsut to avoid confusion when you run
setup on the new drive. After the new drive has been successfully loaded
with the operating system, you can then add the second drive as a slave and
successfully access your data from the old hard drive. It will show up as
drive d" in MY COMPUTER.

Good luck!
