Hey everyone,

My tower PC finally died (motherboard) and I was wondering if I install my hard drive from the PC into an external enclosure, will I bs able to use an existing XP installation with parallels. Or does it require a fresh installation of XP to run (i assume it needs to add another partition for cross compatibility).

Any insight is appreciated, as I don't really want to erase the data off the drive if there's a say around it!

Thanks
