Hard drive transfer?

I have to computers, old one being xp 2003, new one being vista, 2008. the xp has a virus and i was wondering since i have virus protection on vista is it safe to put the old hard drive in. Or is it impossible to even put more than 1 hard drive in 1 computer.

it's safe for vista just make sure you put everything in good place to prevent disaster. and yes a pc can hold up to 4 HDD (w/out ODD) but make sure you have a good anti-virus. if you have a network it would be easier to transfer files.
You can have as many hard disk drives as your motherboard and devices will support. Many systems have upwards of 8 drives.
yes it is possible but only if you have the right interface on your motherboard for your older drive.. for example if you old drive is IDE your new motherboard would have to have an IDE controller... most new computers use SATA as the interface for both hard drives and cd/dvd rom/writers....
no its not in possible to put the hard drive but if you have a virus, when you put the hard drive on vista the virus may corrupt vista as well. the best thing is to first fromat the hdd and then you can put it on vista
Sure it's possible, but I can't say whether it's safe or not. I've done this to remove viruses in the past, but you risk having the virus spread to the other computer if you don't know what you are doing. It depends on how good your antivirus is.

I'm afraid I can't really comment further, other than stating that you can boot into Safe Mode with Networking on the infected computer to download and install removal software to attempt getting rid of the infection.

Good luck!
You could put the XP hard drive in the Vista PC, but I'm not sure it'll help with the virus. Seems like a lot of trouble to save $15. Hope this helps...
