[Gllug] External drive enclosures

[Dylan]

Hi All,

My father had a 20G IDE drive which he wants to take from a machine and 
put into an external USB enclosure. The drive is already partitioned 
and contains data.

Can I expect the drive to be recognised correctly (i.e. have its current 
partitioning scheme and data) after the change? I remember having a 
parrallel port external drive with an IDE drive in it which showed 
garbled directory listings when installed internally. FWIW the box is 
currently Win98 and the external unit will be used on WinXP.

Cheers

Dylan
