[newbie] New disk question

[Eric Budinger]

Hi   Civilme answered a question yesterday I think it was. Currently my Linux box is on a 1.2 gig drive. Its partitioned into 2 600 meg drive.. Ok. Here is what I want to do. Take a 4 gig that I am installing Linux onto as we speak and then access my data off the old drive. Only thing I really have on the old drive is some files.. not a lot there but some. Is that doable? Or must I have both drives in the computer at the same time?   Eric
