Hi guys. My primary HDD just failed on me and I'm wanting to install Windows XP on my secondary (has been used for storage) HDD. It mostly has audio and video files on it right now. So I am wondering... is there a way I can install Windows XP on it without having to format and delete all of my files? I've never tried it quite like this, so I'm just wanting some instructions or a link to show me what to do if it's possible.

Thanks!
