you can add the drive and XP should be able to access it with no problems.
You can basically delete anything on it you don't need.
your windows folder will no longer serve a purpose...

Also...for the most part...
your applications on that drive will not work...
So just keep any data you want...then delete the rest.

If there is nothing on the drive you need...
you might as well just format it.

If there is nothing on the drive you need you better keep it out of the
system.
It probably older drive that run slower and it will slow your system.
When you'll need the extra space you better get a new shiny big HD.

philo:
The advice you got from Shep is the correct one. There's no reason you
cannot use that old 10 GB drive as a secondary drive in your new machine, at
least temporarily, if that's what you want. You do not have to "keep it out
of the system". It will *not* "slow your system".
