i have a Computer with a 40GB HD that ive been using for a while(We'll call it computer A). I got a new computer(computer B)from my uncle and want to format the HD on it(B).

could i format Computer B and and then just take out computer A's HD and put it in Computer B. A's harddrive i am using right now so its got an OS on it already.
