Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>gigabyte (more info?)

I have a WD 200GIG Hardrive in my old machine. Mobo died.
The hardrive was formatted to C: drive (no partitions)
I want to add this drive to my new system

My new system uses a K8 Triton Series Mobo. Gigabyte Ga-k8nsc-939.
And dual Core AMD,Athlon(k7) processor. System is running Windows Home + SP2
With a 400gig Wd HD formatted to C and D drives (200gig each).
I want to add the hardrive from my other machine who's mobo has died. to my
new system as a slave (E: drive) Will windows or bios automatically
recognize this drive or do I need to remove or set the jumper to slave.
I've been told all I need to do is remove any jumper and put it into the new
machine and it will be recognized and all I may need to do is format it. Is
this right?
